Children's Group Home Concert 'Dream Light Wings: Our Story Dreaming Together' Held

Gyeonggi Province held a children's group home talk concert 'Dream Light Wings: Our Story Dreaming Together' on the 7th at Gyeonggi Sangsang Campus in Suwon, with around 100 group home children and staff members in attendance.

Children's group homes are child welfare facilities that provide a home-like environment for children whose parents are absent or unable to provide adequate care.

The event was organized to allow children to display their dreams and talents on stage—including ocarina, flute, and violin ensemble performances, singing, and taekwondo skills that they have learned while living in the group homes. In addition, diverse experience booths including face painting, caricature drawing, and nail art were operated throughout the event, making it a festival where both children and staff members could enjoy and communicate together.

One child who performed on stage that day said, "At first, I was very nervous standing in front of people, but as I practiced with my friends and received encouragement from my teachers, I gained confidence that 'I can do it too.'" A staff member who watched the children on-site said, "I hope there will be more of these precious opportunities where children can discover their talents and nurture their dreams."

Park Yeon-gyeong, Director of the Women and Family Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "I sincerely hope that today, where the children's dreams and challenges have come to fruition, will be a meaningful stage that they will never forget." She added, "The province will continue to provide unwavering support and serve as a reliable foundation so that children can grow healthily as confident protagonists of the world."
