Hanjin's Commitment to Supporting U.S. Veterans and Communities Hanjin, a company with a rich history spanning 80 years, recently held an event on the 12th to reaffirm its dedication to supporting non-profit organizations. One of the key beneficiaries of this commitment is Semper Fi & America’s Fund, an organization that provides assistance to U.S. injured, ill, or wounded veterans and their families. The event was attended by notable figures from Hanjin, including President Cho Hyun-min and CEO President Noh Sam-sug. The decision by Hanjin to support U.S. veterans is not just a new initiative but a continuation of its long-standing relationship with the U.S. military. This connection has been a cornerstone of Hanjin’s global logistics operations since its inception. In the 1960s, Hanjin Corporation, the predecessor of the current Hanjin, laid the groundwork for its logistics business by managing port unloading and inland transportation of military cargo in Qui Nhon, Vietnam....

The Journey of KOTO: A Beacon of Hope for Disadvantaged Youth Laughter echoes across the grounds of KOTO's new school in Bac Ninh Province during the annual "Home for Dinner" event in early October. Surrounded by nearly 100 young students, Jimmy Pham recalled his first visit to Vietnam three decades ago, when meeting street children inspired him to establish KOTO (Know One, Teach One), a hospitality training school for disadvantaged youth and likely Vietnam's first social enterprise.

Word spread among the kids about "a silly guy," and one time some 60 children trailed him to a pho restaurant. On returning to Australia, he switched jobs to one that would st...

The Last Gift Programme: A New Approach to Medical Research At the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), a groundbreaking initiative called Last Gift is offering terminally ill patients the chance to play a crucial role in shaping future medical treatments. This program redefines the traditional approach to clinical research by allowing individuals with limited life expectancy to contribute their bodies and experiences to scientific progress. Their unique circumstances challenge the usual risk-benefit assessments that are typically applied to clinical trials, enabling researchers to engage them in ways that would not be feasible with healthier participants. The shift towards human-centric drug testing has been supported by leading U.S. research agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These organizations have increasingly recognized the limitations of animal-based studies, which often fail to produce results relevant t...
