[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] “We have to hurry and pick the ‘nyeoseok’ before the first frost falls.”

The ‘Geonigangi Volunteer Group’ of the National Health Insurance Service Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters (Head Jang Su-mok) visited Sinri Village in Maam-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam on November 5th.

About 30 volunteers were busy harvesting kiwis that were free of blemishes and firm, selecting the large ‘nyeoseok’ first. They were so careful not to let the hairs on the skin fall off or cause any damage that they lost track of time.

On this day, the ‘Geonigangi’ held a harvesting assistance event at the kiwi orchard in Sinri Village, a sister village under the ‘One Company One Village’ program.

More than 30 employees from the Busan-Gyeongnam Headquarters participated in the volunteer activity, working up a sweat alongside elderly farmers to support farms struggling with labor shortages during the kiwi harvest season.

Head Jang Su-mok said, “It seems that many farms are having a hard time this year due to COVID-19 and typhoon damage. I hope our volunteer group can be of some help to the farms facing difficulties.”

Geonigangi are volunteers deeply committed to social contribution, determined to continue various social contribution activities that help farming communities in the future.
