Hapcheon-gun Multicultural Family Support Center Operates Family Love Day Program

Making Mosquito Repellent and Vermuri Using Natural Ingredients

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Gyeongnam Hapcheon-gun Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center announced on the 15th that it held a session for 10 local families to make natural mosquito repellents and balm using citronella as part of the Family Love Day program.

The program was conducted in the large lecture room on the first floor of the Hapcheon-gun Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center, led by marriage immigrant instructor Arakawamae, and was prepared to help participants have a healthy summer by making and using mosquito repellents and balm with natural ingredients.

One participant said, “My child has atopy, so I was reluctant to use products containing chemical ingredients, but using natural ingredients makes me feel comfortable using them,” and added, “I think I can spend this summer healthily without worrying about mosquitoes.”

Jeon Deok-gyu, head of the Senior and Child Women’s Division, said, “I hope this program will help promote positive interactions between parents and children in daily life and contribute to creating a healthy family leisure culture.”
