Suncheon-si Dosadong Residents' Autonomy Committee 'Dukkeobi Talent Donation Group' Spreads Happiness Through Volunteer Activities

Spreading a Culture of Neighborly Love Through Home Repairs for Vulnerable Families

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Dosadong Residents' Autonomous Committee Toad Talent Donation Group in Suncheon City announced on the 4th that they conducted their first talent donation of the year by performing home repair volunteer work for vulnerable households in the Gyoryang Village residential area.

Launched in March 2018, the 'Dosadong Toad Talent Donation Group' consists of residents' autonomous committee members who share a commitment to practicing neighborly love. They form partnerships with vulnerable groups (such as elderly living alone and multicultural families) and spread a culture of sharing and consideration through members' talent donations (cleaning, home repairs, etc.) to create a happy journey together.

This first talent donation volunteer activity targeted a hoarding elderly living alone household surrounded by piles of trash worthy of appearing on the TV program "Unbelievable".

Taking advantage of the homeowner's hospitalization, the amount of trash cleared that day reached the equivalent of five 5-ton trucks. Over 50 people, including residents' autonomous committee members, the Isu Rotary Club, the Majungmul Support Council, and officials from the Administrative Welfare Center, participated and worked hard.

The 'Dosadong Toad Talent Donation Group' plans to clean the interior of the house and replace wallpaper and flooring so that the homeowner can celebrate the Lunar New Year in a stable environment after discharge.

Kim Seon-jung, chairman of the Residents' Autonomous Committee, said, "I feel grateful and fulfilled thinking about the elderly spending the holiday in a clean and organized home." He added, "We will continue to carry out volunteer activities so that everyone pays attention to marginalized neighbors and warm love-sharing practices can continue, helping more neighbors."

A Dosadong official expressed deep gratitude, saying, "Even in the difficult situation caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the residents of Dosadong who look after their neighbors and live together awaken the true value of love."
