[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 10th, Gangjin-gun, Jeonnam announced on the 12th that about 60 members of the Volunteer Group Council, Women's Group Council, and Life Improvement Association gathered at the Gangjin Community Center to start making cotton masks to supply masks to vulnerable groups in response to COVID-19.

The county decided to operate the Disaster and Accident Management Fund to alleviate the anxiety and encourage low-income marginalized groups who are having difficulty purchasing masks due to COVID-19.

Accordingly, with the talent donation of about 80 volunteers from the Volunteer Center and citizens wishing to volunteer, they plan to directly produce 10,000 cotton masks from the 10th to the 29th and distribute them to vulnerable groups.

The masks produced are made of washable cotton fabric, making them safe and hygienic for the human body. They are designed to be reusable by inserting an electrostatic filter with virus-blocking effects that can be replaced.

Visiting the volunteer site, Lee Seung-ok, the mayor of Gangjin, encouraged, “I am always grateful for the beautiful hearts and sharing practices of the Gangjin volunteer groups. Volunteers are precious resources and the source for creating a clean and safe Gangjin.”

Gangjin volunteer groups and volunteers said, “We hope that the cotton masks, carefully made stitch by stitch, will be a warm comfort to marginalized neighbors who are anxious because they cannot buy masks due to COVID-19.”

Meanwhile, on the 14th, 20 people from multicultural families will participate in mask production.
