The public daycare centers that visited City Hall that day were Hills Gaon, Pureun, Singyeongan, and Ssangyong The Platinum Happy Daycare Center. They donated a total of 4.16 million KRW, with Hills Gaon contributing 1.8 million KRW, Pureun 1.33 million KRW, Singyeongan 300,000 KRW, and Ssangyong The Platinum Happy 730,000 KRW. Of this amount, about 3.5 million KRW is planned to be used to support children in need, such as those in foster care.

Choi Gil-jeong, director of Hills Gaon who participated in the donation ceremony, said, “I feel even more rewarded to be able to help families in need by participating in the Gwangju City Daycare Center Association donation relay currently underway.”

Mayor Bang Se-hwan responded, “It was especially meaningful and touching to receive donations raised by daycare children communicating with local residents,” and added, “I thank the directors and parents who joined the Gwangju City Child Protection Da:Sup Project through the association’s donation relay.”

Meanwhile, daycare centers belonging to the Gwangju City Daycare Center Association, including public daycare centers, plan to continue supporting vulnerable children through the donation relay.
