Achievement
“He established a virtuous cycle of independence for the homeless by running Mindlele Noodle House s a free soup kitchen offering free meals”

CEO Yeong-nam Seo has been running Mindlele Noodle House as a free soup kitchen to the homeless, treating them with respect rather than just providing free meals, so that the homeless can have an opportunity to recover their dignity and return to society.

He also established a virtuous cycle where the homeless can have meals at Mindlele Noodle House, wash and dress at Mindlele Hope Support Center, see a doctor at Mindlele Clinic, and receive clothes at Mindlele Shop, thereby cleaning their body and spirit and become independent.

Recently, a project to support children in the Payatas region of the Philippines has also been carried out, while visiting correctional institutes nationwide and supporting prisoners with money kept in custody and books.
