Ha Jin-suk, head of the Sannae-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, expressed gratitude to the Sannae-myeon Youth Association for participating in the event and stated, “We will put more effort into safety measures such as heatwave and senior health management so that the elderly can stay healthy throughout this summer.”
