KEB Hana led by President Ham Young-joo joined Minister Hong Yong-pyo of the Ministry of Unification(MOU) other high-ranking officials, social service workers of Red Cross and the North Korea Refugees Settlement Office (Hana Won) of the MOU with some 120 North Korea refugees who are being educated at Han Won Dec. 7 presented the packages of comfort to those needy folks including senior North Korean refugees who live alone at Red Cross Share Hope Service Center, the bank said.
The social service for the North Korean people who fled from the North was designed to have them learn the situation in the South as much as they can so that they can deepen their pride and settle down in the South as healthy members of society to improve the conceptions the South Korean people have of them which is why the Ministry of Unification, KEB Hana and Red Cross got together to hold the event., the bank said.
The students who are learning the key matters they should know for their settlement in the South at Hana Won gave the breads and side dishes that they made with the know-how they learned since fleeing to the South while social workers presented kimchi they made to the needy people especially, the old people living alone in the Jung-gu and Jongno-gu in Seoul
President Ham said KEB Hana, which was launched in September, would like to lead the meaning of its integration to the cause of the national unification and has been promoting diverse programs with the government, NGO organizations and the residents of the new lot who fled from the North. This year, the bank helped the young North Korea refugees to find jobs through a mentoring relation that the bank signed with them. The bank hired three of them this year and its truly heart-warming to help the poor people together with them.
The bank will do every thing including its corporate social obligation to contribute to the national causes such as the opening of North Korean market and the national unification so that they would come as early as possible.
KEB Hana has decided that the most important matters for its social contribution would be the projects related to the preparation for the national unification and thus has been engaged in diverse ways including extension of its help to Hana Won’s financial education program, providing scholarship and medical expenses to the students of Hana Won, who are from North Korea and support to the people who live in the New Lot so that they can increase their wealth by managing the Future Happiness Bankbook” for the MOU and management of the Future Unification Academy to train the college students to prepare for the national unification.
