Sangju City Hall, Gyeongbuk.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Se-ryeong] Acts of neighborly love continue in Sangju, Gyeongbuk.

On the 12th, Sangju City visited 15 households under case management in Nakdong-myeon and delivered winter supplies such as heating oil and winter blankets.

The ‘Nakdong-myeon Customized Welfare Team’ regularly visits case management targets such as basic livelihood security recipients, elderly living alone, and disabled households to provide daily necessities and support neighbors in need within the area.

On the 13th, the Gyeongbuk Provincial Government Officials’ Association ‘Bitnasa (People Sharing Light)’ gifted 1,200 briquettes to four needy households in Hamchang-eup.

Bitnasa, voluntarily formed in 2005, conducts volunteer activities every year at the end of the year by visiting elderly living alone and families struggling with living expenses in the province.

On the same day, the ‘Dale Carnegie CEO Sangju City Alumni Association’ also delivered briquettes to needy neighbors in Bukmun-dong.

Currently up to the 16th class, the alumni association practices sharing not only through the general alumni association’s volunteer activities but also by each class.

The ‘Saesangju Rotary Club’ held a completion ceremony for the Love House residential environment improvement project in Yangchon-dong.

The project, which included installation of flush toilets, leak and piping repairs, and sink installation, was carried out over about three weeks using excavators and dump trucks.

This project was made possible through members’ dues and talent donations, and since its founding in 1982, the club has been steadily conducting Love House building activities.

On the 14th, four organizations?the ‘Eoullim Sangju Doiter Band Volunteer Group,’ ‘Chayeon Fan Club,’ ‘Sangsan Newspaper Steering Committee,’ and ‘Hanmaeum Sangju Love Scholarship Foundation’?shared warmth.

About 30 members from the four organizations delivered 1,500 briquettes to three low-income elderly households living alone in Gyelim-dong.

Each organization said in unison, “We want to contribute to creating a society that lives together with neighbors,” and “Seeing the happy faces gives us energy.”
