[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] The Gangjin Cheongnokhoe Women's Association (President Kim Yang-hee) visited the home of an elderly person living alone in Jakcheon-myeon on the 1st and carried out cleaning volunteer activities.

They visited the home of Mr. Kim (81 years old), who has been living alone for a long time after the death of his spouse, and worked hard to clean up accumulated trash that had not been organized and cleaned every corner of the house.

Mr. Kim, aged 81, had difficulty cleaning up the long-accumulated trash inside and outside the house by himself due to living alone for a long time.

Additionally, he was exposed to an unsanitary environment, raising concerns about health deterioration and a high risk of fire. Although he initially refused the cleaning, repeated visits and persuasion made him recognize the necessity of cleaning, enabling the creation of a pleasant living environment.

Kim Yang-hee, president of the Women's Association, said, “I hope the elderly feel emotional stability and live healthily in a clean living environment, and through volunteer activities, I feel myself maturing.”

Song Bang-seon, mayor of Jakcheon-myeon, stated, “We will do our best to provide welfare services tailored to the individual situations of neighbors in need so that no one is left out.”
