Suwon Volunteers Dedicated to Disaster Recovery in Sister City Nonsan

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] The Suwon Volunteer Center and volunteers conducted disaster recovery operations on August 1st in Nonsan City, Chungcheongnam Province, a sister city affected by heavy rainfall.

On that day, approximately 50 people including members of the Suwon Volunteer Center's Disaster Relief Volunteer Division and center staff visited flood-damaged vinyl greenhouse farms in Osan-ri and Namsan-ri, Yangchon-myeon, Nonsan City, which was designated as a Special Disaster Zone on July 15th, and conducted recovery work.

In the morning, volunteers cleared vinyl sheets and wooden materials from six vinyl greenhouses in Osan-ri, Yangchon-myeon, and removed accumulated soil and sediment from ditches around three vinyl greenhouses in Namsan-ri.

Despite the extreme heat, volunteers worked efficiently in their assigned teams, bringing bright smiles and hope to the elderly farmers affected by the disaster.

Choi Young-hwa, director of the Suwon Volunteer Center, stated, "Following last year, we came again this year to the flood-damaged site in Nonsan, and fortunately the weather cooperated so it wasn't at the level of extreme heat. It was meaningful to be able to provide significant assistance to flood-damaged vinyl greenhouse farms in our sister city Nonsan."
