The delivery ceremony was held with the attendance of related officials including Eom Gi-yong, Head of Management Support at POSCO Steelion, Yoon Dae-gyu, Director of Corporate Citizenship, and Yoo Uk-jae, Director of Pohang Agricultural Technology Center.

The 'Mobile Play Classroom,' operated under consignment by the social welfare corporation I-Mom Daycare Center, targets rural areas without daycare centers to improve childcare conditions by providing free rental of toys and books for infants and toddlers, as well as running parenting support programs for parents.

The donated play equipment this time includes picture book sets, teddy bear school buses, and the Kkakkung series toys, which are expected to greatly help develop rural children's thinking skills and enhance their imagination.

The Rural-Urban Win-Win Cooperation Fund, sponsored by POSCO Steelion, has been creating shared value between rural areas and corporations since 2017 by supporting the growth and development of rural communities and encouraging corporate social responsibility activities.
