Guro-gu Delivers Play Equipment to 85 Families

Helping Relieve Accumulated Childcare Burden Due to Prolonged COVID-19... Dispatching Helpers, Providing Study Spaces, and Supporting Online Classes for Multicultural Family Students in the Community

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Sung) is providing a ‘Dugeun Dugeun Play Box’ to families tired of staying at home.

Policies have also been established to support online classes for students from multicultural families.

Guro-gu announced on the 11th that, as the COVID-19 pandemic prolongs and time spent at home increases, it will deliver play kits to 85 households in the district through the Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center to relieve parental childcare stress and enhance children’s happiness.

The play kit, ‘Dugeun Dugeun Play Box,’ consists of various creative play materials that help children develop creativity and improve concentration.

It contains items that families can experience and observe together, such as growing Dracaena sanderiana and grass dolls, and making soap clay.

The Guro-gu Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center completed recruitment of 50 applicant families for this month through its SNS channel on the 8th. It was so popular that applications closed within an hour of opening. The items will be distributed starting from the 13th via delivery or in-person pickup. The center also supported 35 families with play boxes last month.

Guro-gu is also supporting multicultural families who are having difficulties guiding their children’s learning due to online school openings. Helpers visit each household to guide participation in online learning, and if learning at home is difficult, children can study at the Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center.

A Guro-gu official stated, “The Guro-gu Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center is implementing various support policies for families in the district,” and added, “We will also prepare support measures in response to the transition to everyday social distancing.”
