The 'Suwon Senior Club,' which will provide job opportunities and leisure activities for elderly residents in the Suwon area, opened its doors on the 12th at 4 p.m. at the Yeongdeung Social Welfare Center.
The opening ceremony was attended by Mayor Kim Yong-seo of Suwon, National Assembly Member Hong Ki-heon, and Chairman Lee Jon-ha of the Gyeonggi Province Chapter of the Korean Association of the Elderly, along with some 200 seniors. A celebratory performance by a silver performance troupe was presented to mark the occasion.
At the 'Suwon Senior Club,' elderly job programs will be implemented, including the 'senior lecturer dispatch service,' which leverages the experience and expertise of seniors, and the 'elderly-to-elderly care service,' where healthy seniors care for seniors in need.
In particular, the 'puffed rice business,' operated as a self-generating revenue project at the elderly cooperative workshop, has already shown positive response, and sales are expected to expand further.
Lee Hae-wang, Director of Social Welfare at Suwon City, said, "Going forward, we will make active efforts to develop profitable elderly job programs as an opportunity following the opening of the Suwon Senior Club."
