During this volunteer week, the Namwon District Council of the Korean Red Cross Volunteer Association (Bandalgom Red Cross Volunteer Association) visited vulnerable households in the area and delivered necessary supplies.

At Chukcheon in Hyanggyo-dong and the Manin’s Tomb area, youths from Namwon Middle School’s Dubitnarae Club conducted environmental cleanup volunteer activities (plogging) under the theme “Zero Waste, The Earth I Create and Nurture.”

The Namwon Volunteer Fire Brigade Federation (Namwon City Male and Female Volunteer Fire Brigades) carried out a comprehensive inspection of fire hydrants in the area for fire prevention, night patrols of traditional markets, special disinfection activities at Namwon Station, intercity and express bus terminals, and campaigns to prevent the re-spread of COVID-19.
