Making a Christmas Tree with Our Family

Jongno-gu Delivers 'Christmas Tree Making DIY Set' Composed of Poinsettia, Flowerpot, Lighting, and Decorations to 118 Dream Start Children... Creating Joyful Memories and Supporting Emotional Stability by Making Personalized Christmas Trees at Home with Family

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jongno-gu (Mayor Kim Young-jong) conducted the 'Making a Family Christmas Tree' project to provide emotional support for children who have spent more time at home due to COVID-19 and limited outdoor activities.

Sponsored by SGI Seoul Guarantee Insurance, this project was organized to help Dream Start children create precious memories with their families and enjoy a warm winter in anticipation of the upcoming Christmas.

DIY sets for making Christmas trees were delivered to 118 children registered with Dream Start in the area who wished to participate by December 1st, allowing the children to comfortably make the trees at home with their families.

The Christmas tree DIY set consisted of poinsettias, pots, LED lights, and ornaments, which are widely used as Christmas decorations. The sets were produced by a workshop located in Hyehwa-dong commissioned by the district office.

By making the Christmas trees themselves, the project is expected to help children's muscle development, enhance artistic sensibility, and provide emotional stability, as well as increase air purification and healing effects through plants, according to the district office.

Since 2012, SGI Seoul Guarantee Insurance, which has been supporting underprivileged neighbors in Jongno-gu annually, has sponsored projects such as ‘Providing blankets for infants and toddlers to dream of happiness,’ ‘Producing fire prevention education materials for low-income children,’ and ‘Home playgrounds with parents’ for Dream Start children in Jongno-gu. They also provided children's masks and hand sanitizers three times to prevent COVID-19.

Mayor Kim Young-jong said, “We are grateful to SGI Seoul Guarantee Insurance for their generous support of the Dream Start project, which fosters children's self-esteem and family harmony. We are doing our best to create a ‘child-friendly city where children are happy and raised well,’ believing that a city good for children is a city good for everyone.”
