[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it is operating "Gongja Hakdang," a volunteer club consisting of 10 teams formed through the voluntary participation of public officials under the county, to identify various welfare needs in the region and carry out volunteer activities.

The volunteer clubs are organized using clubs, workplaces, and job series, with about 70 participants.

A club member who recently participated in hiking trail environmental cleanup said, "It is not easy to find separate time to participate in volunteer work, but I am pleased to take care of my health while hiking and also contribute to environmental cleanup."

An official from the county stated, "We will actively support Gongja Hakdang to become a place where citizens and public officials can become warm and happy together, and we will continue to plan and promote volunteer activities in various fields that all citizens can easily participate in."
