The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency carried out volunteer activities for flood recovery in the Jojong-myeon area of Gapyeong-gun on the 11th.
The agency announced that, instead of holding its regular "on-site executive meeting" at local companies every Monday, around 40 executives and employees visited the flood recovery site and participated in volunteer work on this day.
The volunteer activities focused on removing soil and debris accumulated around the village, cleaning up greenhouses and houses damaged by flooding, disposing of roadside waste, and maintaining drainage channels.

Kim Hyungon, President of the agency, said, "This volunteer activity was a very meaningful choice, as it was selected instead of the on-site executive meeting that the agency has held every week," adding, "I believe that empathizing with the pain of the local community and standing in solidarity through action is the true attitude of a public institution."
The agency plans to continue fulfilling its responsibilities as a public institution by not only responding to emergencies such as natural disasters, but also by carrying out ongoing social contribution activities in cooperation with the local community.
