Osan Jungang-dong Saemaul Women's Association Prepares 'Kimchi of Love'

The Saemaul Women's Association of Jungang-dong, Osan City (President Lee Hye-suk) held a "Kimchi of Love" community assistance event over two days starting on the 14th in the parking lot of the Jungang-dong Community Center.

Organized by the Jungang-dong Saemaul Women's Association with the participation of approximately 60 members including the Residents' Autonomy Committee, chiefs of district divisions, and Saemaul leaders, 100 boxes of lovingly prepared kimchi were delivered to approximately 50 underprivileged households including elderly living alone and senior centers facing difficulties, with wishes for them to spend a warm winter this year.

The event utilized approximately 1,000 heads of cabbage that the Saemaul Women's Association personally cultivated through toiling on fallow farmland. As the difficult economy shows little sign of recovery, making winter increasingly challenging for the underprivileged, the donation of kimchi of love added warmth to the occasion.

Lee Hye-suk, president of the Saemaul Women's Association, said, "I hope that through this event, our small gesture of sincerity becomes a source of small joy to neighbors and elders spending a lonely and cold winter," and added, "We will continue to hold regular kimchi-making events and volunteer activities to build a happy community overflowing with heartfelt warmth through cooperation with neighbors."
