Gwangyang-si Dream Start Supports COVID-19 Prevention Hygiene Kits

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City Dream Start supports hygiene kits to 200 vulnerable households struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The city plans to deliver items necessary for children's healthy growth, including thermometers, masks, and hand sanitizers, along with children's nutritional supplements, patches, and beverages sponsored by Gwangyang Woorionnuri Pharmacy and Gwangyang YWCA Food Bank Project Group, to each household through a non-face-to-face method.

Since group programs have been suspended due to COVID-19, preventing education from being conducted, a booklet containing five essential service materials (child rights education, child abuse and sexual violence prevention education, first aid education, fire and safety education, internet addiction prevention education) will be provided to enhance understanding of child rights and encourage participation in the programs.

Han Jin-young, Dream Start Team Leader, said, "We hope the hygiene kits will provide some support to vulnerable households struggling with COVID-19," and added, "The city plans to conduct surveys in a non-face-to-face manner to design programs that children can participate in with their parents at home and provide age-appropriate indoor educational play kits."

Meanwhile, Gwangyang City Dream Start provides integrated case management and customized services for vulnerable children under 12 years old and their families to ensure equal starting opportunities for children and help them grow into healthy and happy members of society.
