Gwangju Shinsegae, Hope Light Sharing Activity 'Solar Lantern Assembly' Event

Scheduled for Delivery to Overseas Energy-Poor Countries

Gwangju Shinsegae Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Dong-hoon) announced on the 14th that, as part of a sharing activity to bring the light of hope to energy-poor countries overseas in collaboration with the Milal Welfare Foundation, they assembled solar lanterns.

The solar lantern is an eco-friendly lighting device that charges energy through solar panels during the day and can be used for up to 10 hours.

This sharing activity was conducted over two weeks from the 29th of last month to the 11th, during which employees personally assembled lantern kits and wrote letters of hope to convey their heartfelt messages. The finished products will be delivered at the end of this month through the Milal Welfare Foundation to support nighttime learning for children in energy-poor countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, as well as to assist low-income households.

An employee who participated in the event said, "I wanted to give dreams to children living in difficult environments," and added, "I will continue to participate steadily in sharing activities that bring the light of hope to the world."

In addition, Gwangju Shinsegae continues its ongoing community sharing activities such as donating 10,000 bottles of drinking water to island areas in cooperation with the Korea Island Promotion Agency, providing scholarships for local talents and regular sponsorship for children from broken families, and participating in employee blood donation campaigns.
