They visited a local elementary school to teach children oral health care methods and also provided dental hygiene supplies. Additionally, KIC donated funds necessary for building new medical and health facilities in this area, which lacks medical infrastructure.
Park Il-young, President of KIC, said, “We deeply appreciate that our employees voluntarily participated in overseas volunteer work beyond the corporation’s sponsorship activities,” adding, “We hope that through medical support volunteer activities, children will grow up healthy and live safely.”
