[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gukyeop] Good Neighbors Gwangju Western Branch announced on the 13th that it is conducting the child growth support project ‘Maeumi (理)’ together with Dowon Taekwondo.

The child growth support project ‘Maeumi (理)’ is being carried out under the theme “Controlling the body with Taekwondo, controlling the mind with integrated arts” in collaboration with the Gwangju Taekwondo Gymnasium Directors Association. As part of the project, sharing character education, integrated arts programs, and case management are conducted together.

Dowon Taekwondo has participated in the ‘Good Neighbor Store’ campaign for the purpose of sharing character education and has also joined the 1:1 sponsorship for overseas children together with the Taekwondo gym members as a ‘Good Neighbor Academy.’

In addition, donation boxes are placed inside the Taekwondo gym to encourage children to voluntarily participate in fundraising. The collected funds are delivered to children recommended by the Gwangju Taekwondo Gymnasium Directors Association, and case management is jointly conducted by Good Neighbors Gwangju Western Branch.

The integrated arts program is designed to improve the self-esteem of Taekwondo members and enhance peer relationships. Clinical professionals from Good Neighbors Gwangju Western Branch visit the Taekwondo gym directly to conduct the program, which is tailored by age group.

Jung Yongjin, head of Good Neighbors Gwangju Western Branch, said, “All Taekwondo gym directors participating in the child growth support project, including the director of Dowon Taekwondo, are actively working for the children,” and added, “Since they are influencing the healthy growth of children in each region, I hope more people will join this project for children.”

Sung Dongmin, director of Dowon Taekwondo, said, “I am glad to participate in such a meaningful cause,” and added, “I will work together with Good Neighbors Gwangju Western Branch for the children in the local community.”
