Youngtong 1-dong Residents Donate Napa Cabbage Grown at Weekend Farm

Four elementary school children—Kim Ye-rin, Min Ji-woo, Eom Do-yun, and Na Hyun-woo—who reside in Youngtong 1-dong, Youngtong-gu, along with their families, donated 150 napa cabbages harvested through weekend farm experiences on the 21st to the "Love Kimchi Making" event organized by the Youngtong 1-dong Saemaul unit to support the underprivileged.

Four families cultivated napa cabbages at a weekend farm plot of approximately 50 pyeong in Mado-myeon, Hwaseong City, carefully caring for them every weekend by laying rows, covering with vinyl sheets, and planting seedlings. They entrusted the harvest to the neighborhood community center to be used for disadvantaged neighbors.

The donated napa cabbages were grown by the four second-grade elementary students and their parents working together, which heightened the value of the contribution. Through this effort, the families rekindled awareness of the importance of family bonds and reflected on the true meaning and significance of volunteer service through their weekend farming experience.

Parent Gu Su-seon said, "Over the past year, our family worked together to take on the common task of 'volunteer service,' and we felt a sense of fulfillment and joy upon harvesting the napa cabbages we grew with sweat and dedication. It also helped foster sound values in our children."
