Gwonseon-gu (District Chief Kim Jeong-soo) visited households of elderly citizens living alone who formed one-on-one partnerships and delivered consolation gifts on the 16th ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

Gwonseon-gu continues to implement one-on-one partnership programs between senior government officials at the level of grade 6 and above and low-income households in order for public officials to lead by example in practicing love and sharing to those in need within the community, to carry on the spirit of helping neighbors, and to create a warm holiday atmosphere full of compassion and care.

A district official stated, "Most of the partnered households are elderly people living alone who need care," and added, "The partnering government officials are taking the lead in realizing precision-focused welfare by delivering carefully prepared consolation gifts, providing companionship through conversation, and confirming living conditions and welfare needs through welfare checks."
