On the 16th, Happy Packages containing cooling supplies were delivered to the homes of elderly living alone in the area... The Happy Packages include summer blankets, mats, handheld fans, and hand sanitizers

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin District, visited the homes of elderly people living alone in the area on the 16th to deliver happiness packages containing cooling supplies and check on their well-being.

This happiness package delivery was prepared to prevent heatwave damage to elderly people living alone in the area who are vulnerable to heatwaves, as the average temperature this summer is expected to be higher than usual and the number of heatwave days is also expected to increase.

The happiness packages delivered that day included cooling supplies such as summer blankets, mats, and handheld fans to help the elderly stay safe during the summer, along with hand sanitizers to prevent COVID-19 infection.

The district plans to deliver happiness packages to a total of 130 low-income households in the area, including elderly people living alone, from this delivery through the 19th.

In addition, 393 fans will be provided to low-income households that do not have fans, need replacements due to malfunction, or require replacement of old fans, and summer blankets will be delivered to 19 households that have requested them.

Mayor Kim Seon-gap said, “This summer, with the heatwave combined with COVID-19, I believe the difficulties faced by the elderly in the area will be greater,” and added, “We will carefully monitor to ensure that elderly people vulnerable to heatwaves can spend a safe and healthy summer.”
