[News Space=Reporter seungwon lee] In a quiet act of empathy that reached beyond the visible, employees of Youngone Corporation gathered last Friday at the company’s Seoul headquarters to craft handmade tactile Braille books for visually impaired children.
More than sixty employees took part in the volunteer project, carefully assembling picture books designed to be understood through touch. Each page combined embossed Braille with textured materials, allowing children to perceive shapes and imagery through their fingertips—an experience that expands both imagination and sensory awareness.
These tactile art books, each made by hand, will be distributed through specialized educational institutions and used in sensory and art development programs for children with visual impairments.
“Our children’s creativity and capacity to learn should never be confined by circumstance,” said Youngone Vice Chairman Sung Rae-Eun. “This project may be a small act, but it carries the hope that every child can reach out and meet the world in their own beautiful way.”
The initiative reflects Youngone Group’s broader commitment to socially engaged corporate citizenship. Each year, the company invites employees to propose ideas for community projects and turns selected ones into action. In the previous year, Youngone organized company-wide CPR training sessions, helping staff develop lifesaving skills and promote a culture of safety and compassion in everyday life.
