This fundraiser aims to support recovery efforts for the Nepalese flood victims who have lost their homes, and at the same time, to express comfort and solidarity to the approximately 550 Nepalese students currently studying at Dongshin University.

Dongshin University President Lee Juhee expressed her support for the fundraising campaign and became the first to make a donation.

Following President Lee's participation, faculty, staff, and students are voluntarily joining the effort, and their collective support to share Nepal’s pain is spreading warmly throughout the university community.

President Lee stated, "For Nepalese students who study and live at our university, the pain of the people of Nepal is never just a distant story," and added, "I wanted to let the students, who are surely heartbroken by the news from their homeland, know that Dongshin University stands with them."

She continued, "I hope that our small act of kindness will give hope to the people of Nepal who have lost their homes, and I wish that the warm-heartedness of our university community will be well delivered to Nepal."

To enhance transparency and trustworthiness in the donation process, Dongshin University has opened a dedicated account under the name of the International Education Institute Director, which will be used exclusively for emergency relief support for Nepal flood victims. After the fundraising ends, the entire amount collected will be delivered to the Government of Nepal Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund, and the university will provide details on the total donations and donations made in accordance with relevant procedures.

Currently, Dongshin University is a global campus with approximately 2,300 international students from 23 countries, and operates a variety of educational and support programs to help its international students grow as members of the university and the local community.

Meanwhile, this emergency relief fundraiser is open for participation until September 30 through Gwangju Bank account 1121-036-525570 (Account holder: Park Jaemin·Nepal Flood Relief Fund). Please note that, as this campaign is not conducted by an organization eligible to issue donation receipts under Korean tax law, donation receipts and year-end tax deduction benefits are not available.
