[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Amid the national disaster caused by COVID-19, which has brought difficulties to the entire nation, acts of kindness that provide strength in hard times continue across all walks of life regardless of age or occupation.

Members of the Gwangjin District Council (Chairman Go Yang-seok) also joined this effort by donating 2.3 million KRW to support residents struggling due to COVID-19.

On the 22nd, before the opening of the 233rd extraordinary session, the Gwangjin District Council delivered the donation to the Gwangjin District Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters to help overcome the COVID-19 crisis.

The donation was collected through contributions from all 14 council members, who came together to assist residents facing difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. The funds will be used through the Gwangjin Welfare Foundation to support disaster-affected families in the area and to revitalize the local economy.

Chairman Go Yang-seok said, “I hope the small sincerity of the Gwangjin council members can become a great hope for someone in need,” and added, “Even amid the COVID-19 crisis, the Gwangjin District Council will take the lead in spreading positive influence throughout Gwangjin by holding the hands of our neighbors who are struggling.”

The Gwangjin District Council is actively engaged in legislative activities to protect the health and safety of residents, including disinfection of vulnerable areas by neighborhood, mask donation campaigns, revising and enacting ordinances to establish legal and institutional foundations for COVID-19 response, and holding emergency extraordinary sessions to approve supplementary budgets aimed at preventing the spread and ending COVID-19.
