We'll Help You Prepare Your Home for Winter

An abundance of "love for neighbors" is overflowing from Hwaseong City.

The Namyang-dong Male and Female Saemaul Leaders Association (hereinafter "the Association") recently undertook repairs on the home of Bang (44, Namyang-dong), a Grade 1 person with a disability who cannot use his lower body at all and has been making a living doing manual labor in a prefabricated building with his elderly mother.

Bang is experiencing a difficult life with his elderly mother as well as two sons attending middle and high school.

Upon hearing of this situation, members of the Association, Samsung Digital Plaza, and members of Samsung Electronics Korea Labor-Management Consultative Council joined together to undertake repairs filled with "compassion."

Samsung Electronics also learned of the difficult circumstances and readily contributed 10 million won for construction costs.

The "Love Home Repair" project, spearheaded by Association members, saw large-scale construction unfold from October 28 through November 10.

New bricks were added to the deteriorating exterior walls of Bang's prefabricated building, and the previously cold and empty interior now features a new boiler, wallpaper, and sink, bringing a warmth to the space.

A city official stated, "Hearing about this situation broke our hearts, and the Association as well as all citizens in the area gave their hearts with one mind and one purpose through volunteer work, which added to our sense of emotion."
