[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) held a regular meeting in the first half of the year on April 29 to appoint new members of the Child Committee and discuss the main business plans for 2020.

The Eunpyeong-gu Child Committee consists of a total of 25 members who provide counseling and support for children in need of protection within the region, as well as activities to discover and recommend children requiring care. They have successfully organized various events for children in Eunpyeong-gu.

The Child Committee has annually held events such as the "Children's Drawing and Writing Contest" in May and the "Children's Song Singing Contest" in September for elementary school students in the area, providing opportunities for children to showcase their talents and dreams.

This year, due to COVID-19, various opinions were discussed regarding event promotion, including the existing event formats and holding events online.

The committee members, composed of experts from various fields such as daycare centers, kindergartens, professors of child-related departments, academies, and psychological research institutes, shared their experiences from the field and held a passionate meeting to organize events for children in Eunpyeong-gu despite difficult circumstances.

Although conditions are challenging, the members expect the infectious disease situation to stabilize soon. They decided to add new projects such as "Group Parent Education" and an "Awareness Improvement Campaign for Child Abuse Prevention," which will help child-rearing through each member’s talent donation, providing emotional support for parents and various necessary services.

Kim Dan-young, Chairperson of the Eunpyeong-gu Child Committee, said, "Although it is difficult to hold Eunpyeong-gu’s historically significant children’s events such as the writing and drawing contest and the song contest due to COVID-19, we will find new and safe ways to proceed with the events through consultations with experts from various fields."

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, "The Child Committee is composed of knowledgeable and experienced experts passionate about child welfare," and expressed hope that through the committee, "it will play a significant role in making Eunpyeong a healthy and happy place for children."
