[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 30th that it has selected Kim Sang-o (54) as the 'Volunteer of the Month.'

Kim, who was chosen as the Volunteer of the Month, has been participating in regular talent donation volunteer activities for citizens since 2010 through the saxophone club, including visiting concerts and performances to help underprivileged neighbors.

He has also been actively engaged in environmental cleanup activities, protection efforts to prevent wildlife accidents such as roadkill, and patrol and prevention activities to improve harmful environments for youth, consistently volunteering throughout the community for the past 11 years.

Kim said, "Although group volunteer activities are limited due to social distancing, consistency is more important than scale in volunteering. I will continue personal volunteer activities by seeking places in need of help so that no neighbors or animals in the community are left behind."

Im Ju-taek, Director of the Citizen Welfare Bureau, said, "The reason volunteering does not stop is thanks to the passion and dedication of volunteers like these, and I would like to express my gratitude first. We will strive to spread a social atmosphere that practices volunteering and sharing and to revitalize volunteer activities."
