[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Gijang-gun Youth Volunteer Group won the Grand Prize, the Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters Director's Award, at the ‘2020 6th Communication Gori University Student Volunteer Contest’ hosted by the Busan Volunteer Center and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters.

The Gijang-gun Youth Volunteer Group, a community-based autonomous volunteer network in Gijang-gun, received high praise for carrying out various volunteer activities.

This award is a double celebration as it follows their second award, the Busan City Council Chairman's Award, at the ‘Busan Youth Volunteer Competition’ last November.

This year, the Gijang-gun Youth Volunteer Group conducted the ‘Community Guardian Angel Campaign.’ To prevent COVID-19 in the community and promote residents' rights, the youth personally wrote letters and hand-packaged snacks to deliver to medical staff at screening clinics, public officials, and volunteer organizations.

A total of 1,000 community ‘guardian angels’ received the warm hearts of the youth this year.

Son Su-geun, advisor and founder of the Gijang-gun Youth Volunteer Group, said, “Although the situation is difficult, I believe that through solidarity and cooperation among community members, we can ultimately overcome COVID-19. I hope the youth of Gijang will grow into problem solvers through cooperation and coexistence.”
