[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] On the afternoon of the 8th, Gyeongnam Province and the Korea Facilities Safety Corporation held a donation ceremony for neighborly love to overcome the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in Governor Kim Kyung-soo's office.


The approximately 70 million won donation from the Korea Facilities Safety Corporation was collected by 33 executives and employees who voluntarily set aside a portion of their salaries each month from April to July.


The donation will be delivered to 350 low-income households in the province struggling due to the spread of COVID-19 through the Gyeongnam Community Chest of Korea.


Governor Kim said, "The more difficult it gets, the more we can overcome the crisis together if we gather hearts that donate and share," and added, "I ask for many people’s participation so that we can overcome the cold winter."



Meanwhile, the province and the Gyeongnam Community Chest of Korea are making efforts to spread the culture of donation by conducting the 'Hope 2021 Sharing Campaign,' a neighborly love fundraising activity during the year-end and New Year holidays.
