The donation ceremony was attended by Jang Juhyun, Director of the Independence Support Center; Jang Hyunwoo, Teacher at Myeongjin Middle School; Park Jiho, Student Council President; and Yang Siu, Vice President.

Jang Juhyun, Director, said, "I am grateful for the students' warm sharing. The donation we received will be used carefully to support youth preparing for independence."
