With the reduction of the face-to-face alumni activities due to the spread of COVID-19, it decided to support vulnerable groups with the saved alumni budget, $10,530.
Cho Han-Deog, Country Director of KOICA Vietnam said “We think highly of the Vietnam government’s efforts to overcome COVID-19 and KOICA is willing to contribute supporting the vulnerable through the alumni association” and he also emphasized, “The value of international solidarity, mutual trust, and cooperation are fundamental to overcome COVID-19 together”
