[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] “Hello. I am a woman in my 30s living in Yongsan-gu. Although I am not skilled with my hands, I started making masks little by little to contribute in some way to the current situation. I hope they will be used for a good cause.”

On the 24th, a paper bag was hanging on the entrance door of the first floor of the Hyochang-dong Community Service Center in Yongsan-gu. Inside were 20 handmade cotton masks, 10 medical masks, and a handwritten letter.

The anonymous donor also left a message of encouragement, saying, “I am not sure if the word ‘donation’ is appropriate, but I want to help, so I am leaving these together. Keep up the good work, everyone. Thank you.”

Additionally, the donor showed great care by detailing the materials used, stating, “The table for making masks was disinfected with alcohol, hands were thoroughly washed, and masks were made while wearing masks.”

Lee Jeong-nam, head of Hyochang-dong, said, “Our staff and residents were deeply moved by this unexpected donation,” adding, “We are truly grateful. We will also do our best to fight against COVID-19.”

The community service center plans to distribute the donated items to households eligible for emergency relief and livelihood support.
