[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The Gangbuk-gu Saemaeul Women’s Association (President Park Gwi-rok) held a ‘Sharing Love Kimchi Making’ event for underprivileged neighbors on the 11th and 12th.

The event was organized by the Gangbuk-gu Saemaeul Women’s Association and supported by Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Park Gyeom-su).

On the 11th, about 15 Saemaeul Women’s Association members gathered divided by 13 neighborhoods, and on the 12th, the organization’s executives and local residents came together at the Saemaeul Hall Sharing Center.

The participants used approximately 5,850 kg of napa cabbage to make 1,700 heads of kimchi. The kimchi, carefully packed by the members in boxes, was delivered to the local community centers to share the warm spirit of the community.

Park Gwi-rok, president of the Saemaeul Women’s Association, said, “I am grateful to the members and local residents who voluntarily participated. Thanks to their volunteer work and donations, the kimchi sharing event has been able to continue.” The local community centers and the Saemaeul Women’s Association plan to distribute kimchi to 800 underprivileged households (7 kg per household), including elderly living alone, child-headed households, and people with disabilities, by the end of this week.

Park Gyeom-su, mayor of Gangbuk-gu, added, “The Saemaeul Women’s Association, which continues volunteer activities in the community every year, raises the temperature of sharing in the district. We will actively support this valuable event prepared for neighbors in need.”
