[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Junho] The Community Security Council of Jisan 2-dong, Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, recently announced on the 26th that it went on a cultural outing with 20 low-income residents in the area.

This event was organized to provide emotional stability support and a stepping stone for daily recovery to low-income residents through cultural experiences.

The residents who participated in the outing visited Dong-gu Humanities School and the Bium Museum in sequence, enjoying a pleasant time while listening to the guide's explanations and savoring cultural benefits they had been unable to enjoy due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

An elderly participant said, “Because of COVID-19, I had not dared to experience cultural activities, but it was nice to go outside after a long time, see good things, and have an enjoyable time.”

Chairman Lee Gijong said, “It was regrettable that we could not conduct cultural experience activities for low-income groups for over two years due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Going forward, we will carefully look after not only material support but also the emotional stability of residents to practice neighborly love.”

Jisan 2-dong Chief Kim Hyejeong said, “I am grateful to the Jisan 2-dong Community Security Council members who always think of and practice sharing with neighbors in need first. We will do our best to create a happy and prosperous village together through policies that can support marginalized groups in the area in various ways.”
