[Global Epic Reporter Seongsu Lee] On August 25, 2022, the World Educational Cultural Aid (WECA) and Samsung Sorisam Welfare Center held a business agreement ceremony and delivered 1,000 viewing masks to operate educational programs for the hearing impaired.

The World Educational Cultural Aid is an international relief non-profit organization that develops sponsorship programs for children around the world who are in educational blind spots and strives to share hope. We visited the Samsung Sorisam Welfare Center, which is working for the welfare of the hearing impaired.

Samsung Sorisam Welfare Center is Korea's first specialized language rehabilitation institution established for hearing-impaired infants and toddlers, and is working to provide holistic rehabilitation and welfare services for the hearing-impaired in the 21st century.

The delivered items will be used to educate hearing-impaired people who benefit from communication by acquiring a lot of information through mouth shapes and facial expressions, and it is expected that educational programs will become more active through the business agreement.

In particular, this item was made possible through the online fundraising of Kakao Together Value and the sponsorship of a mask manufacturing company, and Seo Jong-taek, CEO of the sponsor, Is Solution (Never Factory), expressed his gratitude for being able to help the hearing impaired through small sharing even in difficult times due to the coronavirus.
