[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Gyeongsangnam-do (Governor Kim Kyung-soo) announced on the 13th that it will carry out the ‘Marriage Immigrant Women Family Home Visit Project’ to enable marriage immigrant women in the province who have not been able to visit their home country for a long time to visit their family with their relatives during the Lunar New Year holiday.

This project is not only to support marriage immigrant women to visit their home country but also to help children of multicultural families visit their mother’s country to experience its history and culture, thereby increasing their understanding of different cultures and fostering self-esteem.

The participants include 110 people from 32 families across 8 countries. Selected families are 16 families (55 people) from Vietnam, 7 families (24 people) from the Philippines, 2 families (8 people) from Cambodia, 2 families (9 people) from China, 1 family (3 people) from Laos, 2 families (5 people) from Uzbekistan, 1 family (3 people) from Nepal, and 1 family (3 people) from Kyrgyzstan.

To promote the project, Gyeongnam Province held a ‘Lunar New Year Home Visit Participant Family Launch Ceremony’ at 2 p.m. on the 10th at the NH Humanities Hall of Changwon National University, attended by about 120 people including multicultural families.

The participating families will stay for about 11 days by country from the 20th of this month to the 7th of next month.
