[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education recently held a ‘Sharing Love Flowers’ event together with the Nonghyup Jeonnam Regional Headquarters to support flower-growing farmers struggling due to the COVID-19 virus infection situation.

On the 6th, according to the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education, Superintendent Jang Seok-woong and executives from the main office, along with Nonghyup Jeonnam Regional Headquarters officials including Director Kim Seok-ki, handed out rose bouquets and rice cakes to about 230 female employees arriving at the first-floor entrance of the education office building.

This event was prepared by the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education with the sponsorship of Nonghyup Jeonnam Regional Headquarters to help flower farmers who are facing difficulties due to a sharp decline in flower consumption caused by the cancellation or reduction of events such as graduation and entrance ceremonies amid the impact of COVID-19.

It also carried the meaning of pledging to create a world without discrimination and a gender-equal workplace culture in celebration of March 8th, International Women’s Day.

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education plans to continue promoting flower consumption campaigns such as ‘One Team, One Flowerpot Cultivation’ and ‘Presenting Flower Bouquets on Staff Birthdays’ across all affiliated institutions and schools.

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong said, “The rose bouquets distributed today contain the noble meaning of International Women’s Day, which hopes for a world without discrimination, and a deep intention to help flower-growing farmers in difficulty. Although small, I hope it brings great comfort to the farmers and helps overcome the national crisis of COVID-19 infection.”

International Women’s Day was established by the UN to commemorate the protest held on March 8, 1908, by American female textile workers demanding suffrage and the formation of labor unions.
