On July 11, the activities will conclude with a volunteer activity evaluation and completion ceremony, along with family relationship and communication education in cooperation with the Jungnang-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center.

Families participating in all activities will be credited with a total of 13 hours of volunteer work, and those who participate in at least 4 out of 5 sessions will receive a certificate of completion.
