The donation ceremony, held at the Community Chest of Korea headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, was attended by Lee Sran, the 1st Vice Minister of Health and Welfare, Kim Byungjun, Chairman of the Community Chest of Korea, Hwang Insik, Secretary General, and staff members from both organizations.

This donation was made possible through the participation of 1,211 employees of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
