[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] As interest in the environment and health has increased along with the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the Gwangjin District Council (Chairperson Park Sam-rye) has engaged in meaningful volunteer activities for a clean environment.
The event, held at Jungnangcheon, a representative urban stream adjacent to Gwangjin-gu and a popular resting place for residents, was attended by about 50 members of the Saemaul organizations (Council, Women's Association, Workers and Factories, Book Club) along with Chairperson Park Sam-rye, Vice Chairperson An Moon-hwan, and council members Park Seong-yeon, Jang Gil-cheon, and Kim Mi-young.
The event, aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19 within the community through creating a clean environment and enabling all visitors to the district to have a more pleasant Chuseok, involved collecting household waste abandoned along the Jungnangcheon stream and debris brought in by heavy rains.
The Saemaul members and Gwangjin District Council members who participated pledged to change their neighborhood themselves and make Jungnangcheon a place where people want to walk. Based on the Saemaul spirit, they promised to lead the revitalization of the local atmosphere, which has been depressed due to COVID-19, and to achieve a new leap forward together.
They also emphasized that, for COVID-19 prevention, not only personal hygiene but also local environmental management is important, and pledged to continue ongoing environmental cleanup activities.
