[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Gangnam-dong Community Security Council in Andong-si, Gyeongbuk, implemented the 'Cool Summer Survival' project for low-income households, including elderly living alone who are vulnerable to health management during the midsummer heat.

This project was carried out using sponsorship funds prepared to revitalize the council's specialized projects.

After the rainy season ended, they visited households such as elderly living alone who are vulnerable to health management due to heatwaves, checked on their well-being and health status, and delivered 20 servings of samgyetang, a summer health food, along with 20 sets of cool mats and pillows.

Choi Seong-yeon, chairman of the council, said, "I hope the summer survival food and items, though small, prepared with sincerity by the council members, are well received. Despite the ongoing heatwaves and the resurgence of COVID-19, which make the situation difficult, I hope everyone takes care of their health and has a cool summer."

Son Yun-ho, head of Gangnam-dong, said, "I am grateful to the members who gathered to enhance the community's welfare awareness despite the harsh working conditions caused by the scorching heat, and the district office will actively cooperate with any future activities for the socially marginalized groups in the area."
