Osan City Provides Winter Sports Experience Opportunity for Students in Financial Difficulty

The Osan City Community Welfare Council (Chairman Kwak Sang-wook, Co-Chairman Kim Hoe-woong) operated a ski camp for low-income children and youth on the 18th at Welli Hilli Park in Gangwon Province as part of a planned project utilizing sports lecture vouchers.

The camp, sponsored by Osan City (Department of Culture and Sports) and organized by the Osan City Community Welfare Council, was attended by 33 elementary, middle, and high school students from low-income families who had previously had limited opportunities to experience skiing. Under the guidance of professional instructors from Welli Hilli Park, the students learned skiing, which greatly contributed to improving physical fitness and emotional development during their growth years.

An official from the Osan City Community Welfare Council said, "The ski camp promoted through this sports lecture voucher planned project will provide a valuable opportunity for children from disadvantaged families to experience winter sports." The official added, "We hope this camp will serve as a great opportunity for participating students to build physical strength and foster social skills through group activities."

Meanwhile, the sports lecture voucher planned project is a support program that provides educational activity expenses for low-income children and youth (ages 5-19) who face difficulties in participating in sports activities due to economic circumstances. Selected participants receive support for class fees up to 70,000 won per month during the project period for physical training and confidence-building activities.
