[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] On the 1st, Kim Ha-yong, Chairman of the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Council, handed over the 2021 Red Cross special membership fees to Kim Jong-gil, Chairman of the Korean Red Cross Gyeongnam Branch, at his office.

The handover ceremony was held to encourage active participation from the residents for neighbors in need, as the intensive fundraising period for the 2021 Red Cross membership fees begins on December 1.

Red Cross membership fees are collected year-round, but the intensive fundraising period runs from December 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021. The collected funds will be used for humanitarian activities such as relief efforts for domestic and international disaster victims, support for low-income groups, social service activities, and spreading humanitarian ideals and resource mobilization.

Chairman Kim Ha-yong expressed his gratitude to the Red Cross for their silent dedication to vulnerable groups and neighbors in need, and said, "Since everyone is going through a difficult time due to COVID-19, I ask for the residents' active participation in the Red Cross membership fee fundraising so that we can create a happier society together with small acts of kindness."
