On the 19th, 100 packages containing these gifts arrived at a welfare center for the disabled. The value is about 3 million won. At a time when the care gap has significantly lengthened, the developmentally disabled who received the gift packages bloomed with smiles for the first time in a while.
The Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the National Health Insurance Service (Head Jang Su-mok) held a gift delivery ceremony for the "Strong Heart·Hope Package" at the Gyeongnam Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled (Director Hwang In-gyun) a day before Disabled Persons Day.
The "Strong Heart·Hope Package" was composed of coloring books, colored pencils, mushroom cultivation kits, and infection prevention supplies, containing the hearts of the Service's executives and employees.
It was donated to comfort the physical and psychological difficulties of developmentally disabled people exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
Head Jang Su-mok said, "The Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters will put more effort into resolving the care gap for disabled people whose outdoor activities have been restricted due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and providing opportunities to communicate with society."
The Busan-Gyeongnam Headquarters practices sharing through various social contribution activities for socially marginalized groups in the community, such as safety checks for elderly living alone and support projects for out-of-school youth.
