Gwonseon-gu Public Officials Volunteer Activity 'Oh! Happy Day'

Public officials in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon will implement the 'Oh! Happy Day' volunteer activity through December to bring warm hope to neighbors through partnerships with social facilities in the district and the "One Department, One Sharing Partner" initiative, while also promoting participation in community volunteer activities, according to an announcement made on the 21st.

Although this year's start has been somewhat delayed due to events such as the 19th general election, each department of the district office and the dong community service centers will work as a team and conduct volunteer activities at 14 social facilities in the district on a bimonthly basis.

On the 19th, all staff members from 19 departments of Gwonseon-gu visited senior centers, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and other facilities simultaneously, serving as fun activity instructors for people with disabilities who have difficulty leaving home on their own, engaging in activities such as shopping at marts, paper folding, and hand-clapping games.

Furthermore, they served as friendly companions to the elderly and as reliable helpers to facility staff members, filling 'Oh! Happy Day' with both meaning and enjoyment.

District Chief Kim Jeong-su said, "Going forward, public officials in Gwonseon-gu will go beyond facility volunteer service by forming autonomous volunteer clubs among employees, implementing meaningful volunteer activities with more diverse content such as talent sharing including photography and hair coloring for the elderly, and walking the fortress walls together with people with disabilities."
