[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 15th, the Daeseo-myeon Community Security Council (Private Chairman Song Hyung-du) in Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced that they delivered fans worth approximately 4 million won to 61 households vulnerable to heatwaves in preparation for the heatwave.


The fans provided this time were purchased with funds sponsored by local community organizations and individuals as part of the "Creating a Happy Daeseo Together" campaign to unite the residents, so that vulnerable groups who have difficulty using senior centers and heatwave shelters due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic can spend a cool and healthy summer.


The council prioritized support for low-income households with old fans that posed a fire risk, and while adhering to quarantine rules, they checked on the residents' well-being and explained health management precautions to prepare for the summer heatwave.


An elder from Gaemyeong Village in Daeseo-myeon, who received a fan, expressed gratitude, saying, "My fan was old, and I was planning to buy a new one, so I am thankful for being given a new one."



Ryu Nam-jin, head of Daeseo-myeon, said, "I am grateful that warm sharing, considering the socially marginalized and vulnerable, is spreading even in these difficult times due to COVID-19," and added, "We will do our best to create a happy community where everyone lives together."
