[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] The International Lions Club announced on the 16th that the Busan District 355-A (Busan) Zone 5 (Busanjin-gu) area and its 8 affiliated clubs carried out a "Kimchi Making and Rice Cake Soup Ingredient Sharing Volunteer Service Filled with Love" to help underprivileged neighbors in need.

At the event held at the Busanjin-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, due to the escalation of social distancing measures amid the COVID-19 pandemic, instead of making kimchi directly, finished products and rice cake soup ingredients (tteokguk, eggs, anchovy broth packs) were packaged and prepared, delivering goods worth approximately 6 million KRW.

Attendees of the event included Lions Club President Joo Hyung-gyu, Secretary General Kim Chang-ryeol, Vice President of Zone 5 (Busanjin-gu) Shim Jae-hyo, district officers of the affiliated clubs, club presidents, and executive members.

The 8 clubs consisting of Bukbusan, Busanjin, Oryukdo, Seomyeon, Daehwa, Sammi, Mokhwa, and Samsung directly delivered goods to elderly living alone and low-income households selected by the Busanjin-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center.

Previously, the International Lions Club 355-A (Busan) district completed the "House Repair of Love" on the 15th, renovating the Namgwang Child Welfare Center building, and held a volunteer plaque unveiling ceremony. The Namgwang Child Welfare Center, established in 1946, is Busan's first child care facility, a social welfare institution caring for children marginalized from family and society.
