Jeongeup-si Joins 'Myanmar Love T-shirt Purchase Campaign'

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk Province, announced on the 27th that it participated in the ‘Myanmar Love 1 Person 1 T-shirt Purchase Campaign’ to support and cheer for the democratization of Myanmar.

About 800 Jeongeup city officials and public employees participated in this campaign, raising approximately 12 million won in donations.

The donated funds will be delivered to Happy Asia to be used for living expenses of Myanmar international students in Jeonbuk and for medical and quarantine supplies support in Myanmar.

The T-shirts were jointly produced by the Myanmar Jeonbuk Student Association in Korea and the international missionary organization Happy Asia, and the T-shirts feature the phrase “Waiting for the Spring Day of Myanmar Democracy” written in both Korean and Myanmar languages.

The city requested related organizations and social groups in the region to also participate in the T-shirt purchase campaign for the Myanmar people and students who are resisting the military regime to restore democracy.

Mayor Yoo Jinseop said, “It is natural to support and cheer for Myanmar’s democracy movement in Jeongeup, the birthplace of the Donghak Peasant Revolution, which planted the seeds of democracy in Korean history,” and added, “I hope the support from citizens becomes a small strength.”
