Shelter serves as safe waiting spot for school vehicles
Equipped with heating, cooling and play equipment
HD Hyundai Heavy built a "children's waiting shelter," a safety facility to protect students on their way to and from school, at Noksu Elementary School in Dong-gu, Ulsan, and held a donation ceremony Thursday for the first HD Children's Shelter.
The ceremony was attended by Choi Heon, head of HD Hyundai Heavy's management support division; Cheon Ki-ok, head of Ulsan's Dong-gu District Office; Lee Su-young, chair of the Dong-gu District Council; and Kim Dong-hwan, head of ChildFund Korea's Ulsan regional office.
HD Hyundai Heavy installed the booth-style shelter near the entrance of Noksu Elementary School to prevent traffic accidents that could occur while students wait for school vehicles.
The shelter is equipped with heating and cooling systems, a fire detector and an automatic fire extinguisher, shielding students from rain, heat waves and cold snaps. It also includes play equipment, including a large block board, designed to make the waiting time both safe and enjoyable.
HD Hyundai Heavy has entrusted the overall shelter project to ChildFund Korea to ensure professional management, and plans to expand the support to other elementary schools in Ulsan's Dong-gu district.
Alongside its support activities for children, people with disabilities, the elderly and other vulnerable groups, HD Hyundai Heavy has this year been engaging with the local community by donating books to public small libraries and running a joint volunteer program for Korean and foreign residents to help migrant workers settle into the area.
