Hana Bank said on Sunday that it donated 500 million Indonesian rupiahs ($33,000) to a Korean school in Jakarta as a part of efforts for a joint-prosperity campaign carried out by its parent company, Hana Financial Group.
The lender said the donation will be used to support 20 students enrolled at Jakarta Indonesia Korean School for the next four semesters.
"I hope our donation helps the Korean students in Indonesia to dream bigger regardless of the obstacles they may face and grow as global talents," said Park Jong-jin, president director of Hana Bank Indonesia, during a ceremony to mark the donation at the Korean school.
The school's headmaster, Kim Yoon-ki, thanked Hana Bank for "all the attention and interest" toward the students and their future, saying, "I indeed hope the donation will help them enjoy learning and developing creative mindsets."
In addition to Korean students, Hana Financial Group has been making donations for outstanding university students from low-income families in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and other developing countries.
The group's joint-prosperity campaign takes place under its broader goal of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) practices.
