Jeongeup-si Additional Recruitment for 'Life Love Practice Stores'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk Province announced on the 31st that it will additionally recruit ‘Saengmyeong Sarang Silcheon Gage’ (Life Love Practice Stores) to participate in the 2020 Life Love Campaign.

The ‘Life Love Practice Store Designation Project’ was established to prevent briquette charcoal, which causes carbon monoxide poisoning, from being used as a means of extreme self-harm by attaching Life Love slogans to briquette charcoal sales stores in the region and encouraging proper use of briquette charcoal by verifying the intended use before sale.

Following the designation of 14 briquette charcoal sales stores as Life Love Practice Stores last year, the city plans to recruit 10 more stores mainly in vulnerable areas for additional designation.

Stores designated as Life Love Practice Stores will participate in activities such as distributing promotional leaflets with contact information for counseling, monitoring, early detection and connection of high-risk groups for extreme self-harm, and will serve as ‘Saengmyeong Sarang Jikimi’ (Life Love Guardians) to raise awareness of the preciousness of life.

A city health center official said, “Everyone’s warm interest is the way to protect precious lives,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to build a social safety net, including expanding Life Love Practice Stores.”
