Why Did Elementary Students Using Songpa Kiwoom Center Send a Thank-You Letter to District Mayor Park Seong-su?

In May, the Month of Family, Elementary Students Personally Present Thank You Certificates

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) announced that on the 20th, elementary school students using the Songpa Kiwoom Center expressed their gratitude by presenting a certificate of appreciation and thank-you letters to the mayor in celebration of May, the month of family.

Located in Garakbon-dong, Songpa-gu, the Garakbon-dong Songpa Kiwoom Center is a facility that provides safe care, meals and snacks, and various experiential learning opportunities for elementary school students who need care after school.

Opened in May last year during the height of COVID-19, when school classes were disrupted and working parents with elementary school children were deeply concerned, the center has greatly contributed to reducing the burden of family care.

Even as schools and academies repeatedly closed and reopened, the Songpa Kiwoom Center maintained emergency care, tirelessly looking after elementary school students in the area who needed care from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

After more than a year, the children who have used the Kiwoom Center were able to endure the COVID-19 situation well by receiving safe care at the center and spending enjoyable time with friends.

In commemoration of the center’s first anniversary, the children personally created and delivered a certificate of appreciation to the mayor, who established and supported the center, expressing their gratitude and hopes to overcome COVID-19 together.

Mayor Park Seong-su of Songpa-gu said, “A warm word from the pure hearts of the children is more touching than any praise from anyone else,” adding, “Although everyone is struggling due to COVID-19, I believe the difficulties faced by children in care blind spots were even greater. We will continue to strengthen a care system without blind spots so that children, the future generation leaders, and all residents can overcome COVID-19 healthily.”
