Quang Tri Province is one of the areas most heavily affected by the Vietnam War. In recent years, the situation has worsened for residents who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods, due to overlapping natural disasters such as typhoons and heavy rains. In response, Jaseng Medical Foundation donated the cows to help provide stable means of living for residents and to offer practical support for students’ studies.

This is the second consecutive year that Jaseng Medical Foundation has made such a donation. In November of last year, the foundation also supported five cows for five financially struggling student households in the same region. Since then, as the cows gave birth, a secondary benefit was created, contributing to sustainable economic activity in the local community.

Ho Thi Nu, who received a cow on this occasion, said, “Here, a cow is not just an animal but a valuable asset for the future of our family. Thanks to the support from Jaseng Medical Foundation in Korea, we are able to reduce our financial burden and focus more on our studies.”

Park Byungmo, Chairman of Jaseng Medical Foundation, stated, “I hope this support will be a source of strength for the residents and students of Quang Tri Province who have recently suffered from flood damage. Jaseng Medical Foundation will continue to extend a helping hand wherever it is needed, regardless of borders.”

Meanwhile, Jaseng Medical Foundation is engaged in various social contribution activities overseas. In 2018 and 2019, the foundation visited Long To in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, to provide traditional Korean medical volunteer services. More recently, it traveled to Uzbekistan to offer medical support and spinal health education programs for local Koryoin children. Additionally, in June, to mark the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, the foundation conducted traditional Korean medical volunteer services for Philippine war veterans and local residents.
