Citibank Korea said on the 22nd that, to mark "Citi Global Community Day," it carried out a volunteer activity reading voice-donated picture books with employees of its corporations clients and their children.
As part of a joint social contribution program by Citibank Korea and its corporations clients, the event brought together employees of major domestic corporations representing industries such as online games, K-fashion, digital platforms, home appliances, and AI robotics, along with their children, and employees of Citibank Korea.
Participants, under the direction of the social enterprise Aloha Ideas, which has worked with Citibank Korea for years on reading voice-donated picture books, received voice training from a professional voice actor and then performed a variety of characters from the stories themselves, completing a total of eight audio picture books.
The audio picture books completed that day will be donated to a multicultural education social venture corporation and used as content to provide emotional comfort and enjoyment to children from multicultural families.
Hwang Jae-won, executive director of the Commercial Banking Division at Citibank Korea, said, "Citibank Korea will continue to expand its role as a bank that grows with the community beyond finance through joint social contribution activities with its corporations clients."
