The promotion team will conduct a resident needs survey next month and complete training to derive practical tasks by July, then establish village welfare plans for each dong.

Thereafter, they will perform the role of village leaders for cooperation and solidarity between public and private sectors, discover village agendas, and execute welfare plans through continuous opinion gathering and seeking solutions.

Moon In, mayor of Buk-gu, said, “The village welfare plan is the first step toward creating a welfare village led by residents,” and added, “We will actively support the promotion team’s activities to improve the welfare awareness of local residents.”
