On March 22, 2018, a team of six people from a Chinese Integrated Education Institution led by Zhang Xue Yuan (former manager at Chinese Higher Education Center) visited Daejin Welfare Foundation and had a meeting with chairman Yun Eun Do to explore cooperation on the ‘International Welfare Elderly Center Building Project’ in Suzhou, China.
The research team revealed its plan to build a center to promote geriatric health on a 79,000-yard plot of land in Suzhou according to a Chinese government project. The construction is set to be carried out with support from the Chinese government, Gonshan Farming and Commerce Bank, National Development Bank, and Suzhou Administration Department. The team said that they would like to learn the advanced system used by Daejin Welfare Foundation.
The team leader Zhang Xue Yuan said “This project will be the first model of an international elderly center and it is a public work that is supported by Chinese government.” Later, he added, “Considering its importance, I would like to take the technology and systems used by Daesoon Jinrihoe Welfare Foundation as a benchmark in order to make this project a success.”
Then, chairman Yun Eun Do delivered his intention of cooperation by saying “In this aging society, expand welfare facilities and protect the elders from being left in uncomfortable situations is one of the most important public works carried out by Daesoon Jinrihoe. Therefore, we will not spare any support where cooperation is possible.”
The research team left for China on March 26 after asking Chairman Yun to give an opening address at their project council meeting, ‘International Welfare Elderly Center in Suzhou, China,’ which will be held on April 27, 2018. The meeting will be attended by about 30 people consisting of professionals and scholars from Chinese Social Welfare Fund Association, Korean Daejin Welfare Foundation, Chinese Academy of Machinery Process Technology, Taiwanese Shingeumu Corporation, Suzhou Government, Chinese Lenovo Corporation, Chinese Hwasa Happiness Co. Ltd., Haecheon Province International Education Technology Development (Beijing) and Co. Ltd., the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
