Gangjin-gun Holds Move-in Ceremony for the 35th Love House Construction Project

Providing Safe Homes for Disabled Households in Hwajeon Village, Gangjin-eup

[Gangjin=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do, provided a home for a disabled household in the area through the 35th Love House Building Project and held a move-in ceremony on the 11th.

The ceremony was attended by Gangjin-gun Governor Kang Jin-won, Chairman of the Gangjin County Council Operations Committee Noh Doo-seop, Secretary General of the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea Kim Dong-geuk, Honor Society member Kim Ho-je, Masunghwan, president of the Gangjin County Green Association, its members, and about 50 villagers to celebrate the move-in.

The target household was a family that faced difficulties after their house collapsed due to Typhoon Bolaven. Villagers requested help from the county, which, together with the Gangjin County Green Association, linked the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea’s Housing Construction Matching Grant Support Project and selected the family as beneficiaries of the Love House Building Project.

To successfully carry out the project, a total of 50 million won was raised: 10 million won from Gangjin-gun, 25 million won from the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea, 5 million won from the Gangjin County Green Association, 5 million won from designated donations by the Community Chest, and 5 million won from Honor Society member Kim Ho-je. Using the project funds, a 20-pyeong (approximately 66 square meters) house was newly built in Hwajeon Village, Gangjin-eup.

The elementary school child expressed shy gratitude, saying, “Thank you, sir and ma’am, for building our house,” and read a thank-you letter stating, “I want to grow up to be a great person who helps neighbors in need,” which delighted the volunteers.

Governor Kang Jin-won said, “I deeply thank the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea, Honor Society member Kim Ho-je, Masunghwan, president of the Gangjin County Green Association, and its members who helped complete the 35th Love House,” and added, “Let us continue to do our best to ensure housing stability for residents through cooperation between the public and private sectors, including the Love House Building Project.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Love House Building’ project, part of the warm Gangjin creation project through public-private cooperation, has newly built and completed 35 houses since 2007, with two more households currently in progress.
