Yongin's Mohyeon-myeon Shares Love Through 'Dumplings of Affection'

From January 16 to 17, Mohyeon-myeon, Cheoin-gu, Yongin City held a dumpling-making event at the Mohyeon-myeon Office for a charity sharing initiative to help those in need.

Participants including Lee Je-won, president of the Mohyeon-myeon Saemaul Leaders Council, and Choi Ok-hee, president of the Women's Association, along with other members, carefully packaged handmade dumplings along with rice cakes for soup, seaweed, socks, and thermal underwear. These were distributed to 130 households including low-income families, elderly living alone, and multigenerational households.

Most members of the organization, who are engaged in their own livelihoods, temporarily halted work to participate in the two-day event. Without regard for gender, they donned aprons early in the morning at the temporary kitchen set up in the conference room of the municipal office, performing volunteer work without hesitation.

Choi Ok-hee, president of the Saemaul Women's Association, said, "Though it is a small gesture, we will continue to do our best to provide courage and hope to those in difficult circumstances." Additionally, Lee Jung-yong, head of Mohyeon-myeon, expressed his gratitude, stating, "This dumpling-making event has been a great help in enabling our neglected neighbors to celebrate the warm and heartwarming traditional Lunar New Year holiday."
