[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Eom In-yong] The Guri City Mok Min 2nd Generation Volunteer Group (Chairman Yun Jae-geun) has been carrying out home repair volunteer service for the 16th consecutive year with the commitment to help underprivileged neighbors in difficult circumstances, becoming a heartwarming story.

On the morning of the 11th, the 286th volunteer outing of the Mok Min Volunteer Group, approximately 20 members of the Mok Min 2nd Generation Volunteer Group, along with Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun and Dong-gu-dong staff, carried out home repair volunteer work despite rainy weather to ensure that a 60-year-old resident A within the city could live comfortably.

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun participated in a personal capacity rather than as an official event, dressed as a volunteer, and worked with volunteers on home repair including wall insulation and wallpapering, perspiring through the effort.

Despite mobility difficulties from back surgery, Chairman Yun Jae-geun of the Mok Min 2nd Generation Volunteer Group attended, along with volunteer group member Jo Beom-gu, CEO of Poongyangcheolmul, who provided materials on-site; Vice Chairman Kang Seok-joong, Vice Chairmen Chae Hyung-do, members Seo Seung-eok and Son Won-je who worked on rooms, member Kim Chang-sik on the kitchen, soldier Lee Chang-moon on roof waterproof tarp, An Gwon-ho, Secretary General of the Guri City Sports Association, members Yu Seong-yeon and Ki Seon-hwa, Dong-gu-dong Chief Kim Beom-yeong, Welfare Team Chief Yun Deok-su, and Welfare Team Official Kim Beob-jin who took charge of material supplies and various support—each fulfilling their assigned roles and practicing 'true love' all day long.

These volunteers, averaging in their late 60s with some participants in their 70s, demonstrated true love through civil-government-military cooperative volunteer work.

Chairman Yun Jae-geun of the Mok Min 2nd Generation Volunteer Group, who received the prestigious Presidential Commendation at the "14th Citizens' Recommended Award Ceremony" as the first in Guri City, said, "Though my body is exhausted from home repair work from early morning to late night, it was a meaningful day filled with happiness thinking, 'Today, we all really worked hard,' and I am grateful to all the volunteers who participated."

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun stated, "I extend my sincere gratitude to the Mok Min 2nd Generation Volunteer Group for bringing warm happiness through dedicated volunteer service for the underprivileged," adding, "Going forward, we will build a robust support welfare system through diverse private-public cooperation."
