[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Jin Gyuho, Vice President of Management at Busan Port Authority (BPA), attended the opening ceremony of ‘Jibdawon Jibeuro’ hosted by Busan Dong-gu Office and Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation Busan Comprehensive Social Welfare Center on the 15th as a representative of sponsors.

‘Jibdawon Jibeuro’ is a housing renovation project promoted by the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to ensure children’s housing rights by providing environments that meet or exceed minimum housing standards. The ceremony celebrated the completion of renovations for eight households in the Dong-gu area of Busan.

As part of the ‘Visiting Social Contribution Project Near the Port,’ BPA sponsored desks, beds, wardrobes, and other items for four households selected for the ‘Jibdawon Jibeuro’ project.

Since 2021, Busan Port Authority has been collaborating with Dong-gu, Jung-gu, Yeongdo-gu, and Nam-gu districts of Busan to conduct social contribution projects tailored to local needs, such as remodeling children’s rooms, providing daily necessities, and improving housing environments through wallpapering and flooring.

Kang Junseok, President of BPA, said, “We are pleased that BPA can provide assistance to families in need together with welfare centers and local district offices,” adding, “We will continue to carry out various activities that bring dreams and hope to the local community.”
