[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Namgajwa 1-dong, Seodaemun-gu (Dongjang Jeong Jong-mi) announced on the 9th that the 'Our Neighborhood Care Team,' which cares for and manages vulnerable groups and welfare blind spots in the area, has begun full-scale activities.

The Our Neighborhood Care Team was recently formed with five residents aged between 40 and 67 who have shown affection for the community and have taken the lead in volunteer activities.

They regularly check on the well-being of about 100 households in the area, including elderly living alone and disabled persons, through phone calls and visits, monitoring their difficulties.

In addition, for families in crisis, they immediately inform the welfare planner at the Dong Resident Center so that various welfare resources can be connected.

In Namgajwa 1-dong, besides the Our Neighborhood Care Team, existing Neighbor Watchers and Honorary Social Welfare Officers are also active, and going forward, they plan to strengthen 'field-centered welfare with resident participation' through information sharing and cooperative linkage among these groups.

Jeong Jong-mi, Dongjang of Namgajwa 1-dong, said, "By working together with the Dong Resident Center and residents to find and support neighbors in need, we will do our best to create a village without welfare blind spots even amid social distancing."
