[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 27th that it will hold a volunteer activity experience essay contest until October 30.

Now in its 11th year, the volunteer activity experience essay contest is held annually to raise interest in volunteering and to share sincere and touching volunteer essays to spread the spirit of sharing and volunteering.

Eligibility for application includes residents who have joined the 1365 Volunteer Portal and participated in volunteer activities in the past year (excluding awardees within the last 3 years), as well as residents of other cities or counties who are attending schools or working at businesses within the jurisdiction.

Applicants should write and submit an essay of about 3 pages on A4 paper in essay format, describing the emotions, rewards, and experiences felt through volunteer activities.
