The Gwangju Jeonnam Branch of the Korea Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association announced on June 22 that it held a yoga event to help children with leukemia and pediatric cancer, in collaboration with the Gwangju Tourism Organization, as part of the 11th UN International Day of Yoga commemorative event.

The event, held on the morning of June 21 at the outdoor plaza of the Kimdaejung Convention Center, was organized and led by yoga practitioners who formed a project team.
