LG Electronics Union and Employees Visit Amsa Rehabilitation Center for Volunteer Activities

LG Electronics and the LG Electronics Labor Union joined forces to deliver warm hearts to children both domestically and abroad.

On the 23rd, LG Electronics announced that the Lifesgood Volunteer Group, composed of employees, visited the Amsa Rehabilitation Center of the Korea Social Welfare Council in Gangdong-gu, Seoul the previous day to carry out volunteer activities for children and adolescents with disabilities. Ha Young-gyu, chairman of the LG Electronics Labor Union, and others participated in the volunteer work that day, sharing their warmth.

LG Electronics and the LG Electronics Labor Union donated an LG DIOS Objet Collection refrigerator to the Amsa Rehabilitation Center so that children could enjoy cool and fresh food during the hot weather. They also provided education on safe refrigerator usage tailored to the developmental levels of children and adolescents with disabilities.

This education was conducted as part of the ‘Home Appliance School Project’ that LG Electronics has been running since April to support the independence of children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. For the Home Appliance School Project, LG Electronics separately produced and utilized ‘Easy Reading Books,’ which consist of storybooks explaining the principles of home appliances and everyday knowledge, along with simple user manuals. LG Electronics distributes these Easy Reading Books free of charge through customer centers and other channels.

Additionally, LG Electronics donated portable wireless screens, LG StanbyME, and chronic pain relief medical devices, LG Medipain, to support the education and rehabilitation treatment of children and adolescents with disabilities. Activities such as making flowerpots using recycled plastic were also conducted together.

LG Electronics has continued to donate LG StanbyME to be used for the education of children who are bedridden or have difficulty moving due to long-term treatment. To bridge the digital divide for people with disabilities in rural areas, LG Electronics has donated LG Gram laptops, and since 2011, it has been operating the ‘Global Disabled Youth IT Challenge’ to enhance information utilization skills and support social advancement for disabled youth worldwide.

Meanwhile, the LG Electronics Labor Union has been actively carrying out USR (Union Social Responsibility) activities, such as visiting subsidiaries located in Haiphong, Vietnam, and Cibitung, Indonesia, earlier this month to improve facilities at nearby elementary schools and orphanages together with employees.
