Good People (Chairman Kim Cheon-su) , an international relief and development NGO, announced on the 14th that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Busan Veterans Hospital (Director Lee Jeong-ju) to strengthen support for national veterans and vulnerable groups in the local community.
This agreement was established to address welfare blind spots for veterans, including those who have dedicated themselves to the nation, those who have rendered distinguished service to the nation, and those who have served the Korean War, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of liberation, and to expand practical support through a cooperative system between the two organizations.
The signing ceremony was held on the 13th at the main office of Busan Veterans Hospital, and was attended by Good People Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam Branch Operations Committee Chairman Yoon Seong-ho and Busan Veterans Hospital Director Lee Jeong-ju.
Based on this agreement, the two organizations plan to jointly identify vulnerable veterans and underprivileged neighbors in the region and promote practical support activities such as providing goods and living assistance in conjunction with various welfare projects being carried out by Good People.
On July 11th, the two organizations previously provided approximately 400 veterans with "Rose of Sharon Gift Box" kits, worth approximately 140 million won, including daily necessities and summer blankets. The "Rose of Sharon Gift Box" is a customized support campaign by Good People designed to recognize the contributions of those who have dedicated themselves to the nation, and includes daily necessities tailored to the needs of each recipient.
Good People Chairman Kim Cheon-su said, “I am deeply honored to have signed this agreement to support those who have dedicated themselves to the nation in this year, the 80th anniversary of liberation,” and added, “We will continue to provide practical support to those who are eligible for national veterans’ benefits together with the Busan Veterans Hospital.”
An official from Busan Veterans Hospital said, “Through this collaboration, we will strive to further strengthen the support system for veterans and vulnerable groups in the region and contribute to eliminating blind spots in welfare.”
