  Familiar faces visited the YU External Cooperation & Management team on the 12th.

 The sanitation workers in charge of the YU campus environment came to donate 3 million won in scholarships. This visit is their second since donating 3 million won in March 2013.

 This is a very meaningful scholarship as they kept their promise from 2013 that they would donate scholarships every year. 60 YU sanitation workers took 5,000 won from their monthly salary for donations and said that they would make a donation of 3 million won every year.

 Manager of the YU External Cooperation & Management team Kim, Jong Ho said, "I am thankful for them keeping their promise to donate scholarships and coming back this year." He added, "I know that this scholarship was raised from their monthly paycheck that is not too much, so we will make sure to use it wisely."

 YU is planning to include the scholarship donated by the sanitation workers in the school's general scholarship fund and have them go to students studying amidst difficult financial situations.

 Sanitation worker Jung, Kyung Soon (64) who handed over the scholarship on behalf of all the sanitation workers said, "I wish that we could give more and more frequently," and added, "I know it is not much but I hope it helps out students even just a bit."
