The Yeongdeungpo-gu Saemaul Women's Association has produced approximately 200 recycled bags over the past month by repurposing discarded vinyl banners.
The project took place at the Woncheon-dong Community Center, where the association members, led by the chairwoman, cut and tailored the collected vinyl banners into neat and attractive bags.
These bags will be delivered to students in Phnom Penh, Cambodia through 23 members of the Korean Youth Straightening Movement Association (a student volunteer organization based in Seoul) and are intended to be used as schoolbags for children.
Ma Myung-ja, chairwoman of the Yeongdeungpo-gu Saemaul Women's Association, stated, "I hope these bags will be a small comfort and encouragement to local students," and added, "We will continue this project that can instill dreams in children."
