[DigitalToday reporter Lee Ji-young] Sh Suhyup Bank said on Dec. 15 it delivered 100 million won on Dec. 12 at Dongsam Elementary School in Busan with the Korea Ocean Business Corporation for the Busan port city children’s school route improvement project.

Attendees included Sh Suhyup Bank CEO Shin Hak-gi, Korea Ocean Business Corporation President Ahn Byung-gil, and officials from the Busan West District Office of Education, ChildFund Korea, Dongsam Elementary School and Seocheon Elementary School.

The funds will be used to expand safety infrastructure and produce children’s safety umbrellas. Planned work includes painting fences and attaching signs near routes to Dongsam Elementary School and Seocheon Elementary School, where large freight trucks frequently pass and traffic safety is vulnerable, and painting aging school retaining walls.

Shin said, “Creating an environment where children, the hope of the future, can commute to and from school safely is most important.” He said the bank will also do its best to become a warm and responsible local financial partner through various social contribution activities, including support for the underprivileged and environmental protection campaigns.
