[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Volunteer Center of Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 7th that since the 22nd of last month, it has been conducting the Hwangtogol Mask Special Forces project (hereinafter referred to as ‘Hwangtogol Mask Teukjeonsa’) together with 21 members of the sewing machine club.

The Hwangtogol Mask Teukjeonsa project involves producing summer and spring/autumn cotton masks and delivering them to vulnerable groups in towns and townships as well as frontline workers. Volunteers deliver the masks and check on the recipients with encouraging messages.

This project was selected as a Jeollanam-do public contest project and received 2.5 million won in funding. It plans to produce 2,600 masks by November and deliver them to the target recipients, while also promoting mask-wearing campaigns.

In March, the county volunteer center also recruited talent-donating volunteers for the Hope Mask Production project to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, producing and distributing 1,800 cotton masks.

County Governor Kim San said, “Although mask production is a difficult task, I sincerely thank the volunteers who participated by dedicating their personal time. I hope the warm hearts for neighbors will be well conveyed to those receiving the masks.”
