Goheung-gun Dream Start Operates Happiness Delivery "Happy Virus"

Customized Programs Including Total Crafts Conducted with 10 Childcare Facilities

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced that it will operate the "Happy Virus Program" from April to December for children living far away who are using Dream Start services.

The program dispatches a professional instructor once a week to child-use facilities such as community child centers, daycare centers, and elementary schools where five or more Dream Start children attend, providing services that help emotional behavior, cognitive development, and physical health.

Every year, the program is selected and conducted based on a demand survey of desired fields at child-use facilities.

This year, five instructors will be dispatched to 10 child-use facilities, with about 60 children participating in programs such as total crafts, soccer, cooking, and art therapy.

A county official said, "We hope to improve accessibility to services and provide opportunities for self-development to children in rural farming and fishing villages who find it difficult to participate in various programs such as art, music, and exercise, thereby helping emotional development and self-esteem enhancement," adding, "We plan to promote healthy growth and development of children through long-term program provision."
