Hyosung take a trip to the outskirts of Seoul along with families of disabled children.

Hyosung, jointly with the Purme Foundation, carried out a program for a trip to places in Gangwon-do and Gyeonggi-do for the families of disabled children and their family members for two nights and three days from September 15.

Said program, which was started in 2015, is arranged for Hyosung employees/family members volunteering to accompany disabled children/family members. The trip arranged for this year was participated in by 10 Hyosung employees/ family members and 10 disabled children/ family members, for a total of 67 people.

On September 15, the first day of the trip, they spent time at Legoland Amusement Park in Chuncheon, taking photos together. “As one having to use a wheelchair, I usually find it hard to pay a visit to an amusement park. I’m very happy to be here today together with my family and those from Hyosung,” a disabled boy said, commenting on his experience there. On the second day, a recreation program was arranged for them at SONO Belle Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon-gun. Then, they moved to Ocean World for water play activities. On the last day, they paid a visit to The Garden of Morning Calm in Gapyeong-gun.

“I wanted to teach my children that they should take care of disabled children as their neighbors. I also hoped that the trip would provide an opportunity for my children to think about ways to be friends with the disabled. To my delight, my children behaved maturely while mingling with the disabled,” a Hyosung employee said, commenting on the trip.

As for Chairman CHO Hyun-joon, he strives to engage in social contribution activities in various areas and put into practice the Company’s vision of a business that helps beneficiaries cultivate their future on their own through education and sharing under the slogan “We will be with you through sharing.”

Hyosung has joined in the effort by the Purme Foundation to provide medical rehabilitation service to disabled children and pay the expenses for the psychological treatment of non-disabled siblings of the disabled plus the relevant education expenses for them. Last July, the Company arranged a trip for the non-disabled siblings of disabled children
