[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Tongyeong City Volunteer Center in Gyeongnam announced on the 13th that it provided 100 cool kits to elderly people in marginalized groups within the district through the 'So cool day, Cool Grandpa and Grandma Safe Summer Project.'

This project was carried out by the Gyeongsangnam-do Volunteer Center with support from the Gyeongnam Community Chest of Korea, aiming to help elderly people spend a healthy summer by preparing for the heatwave expected after the rainy season.

The cool kit consisted of six items: a single-person straw mat, a set of three summer blankets, a neckband fan, a KF94 mask, a set of two naturally dyed handkerchiefs, and a calligraphy frame (with a cheering message).

On the day, volunteers personally packed the cool kits, which were delivered to 100 households of marginalized and low-income disabled elderly through the Eup, Myeon, and Dong administrative welfare centers and the Tongyeong branch of the Gyeongnam Association of the Physically Disabled.
