□ Ajuker Chicken is a local chicken specialty franchise that is located in Gwangju Jeonnam province. It was founded in 1996 and has expanded as an entrepreneurial success to about 80 affiliated stores.

∘ Every franchise is thoroughly supervised to ensure that Ajuker's core policy of using fresh oil every day is maintained, and daily inspections are carried out to ensure that a clean sanitary condition is always maintained.

□ Ajuker Chichen CEO Seon-sik Kim said, "Through the GIST Learning Program, we can contribute to the local community by donating chicken, which we can do on a large scale. We will continue to provide peace of mind to the community by continuing our volunteer activities through chicken sharing. "

□ International and Public Affairs Director Yong Chul Kim said, Yong-cheol Kim, Director of the Korea Agency for International Cooperation, said, "GIST is very pleased to be able to practice the true meaning of service with the local community in partnership with Ajuker Chicken. The GIST Social Development Team is focused on growing with the children and young people in the community who need extra care."
