Lee Chang-ho, president of the Sannae-myeon Youth Association, said, “Through this event, we hope to create more opportunities to work together for welfare in the future and strive to be a leading youth association that makes Sannae-myeon a happier place.”

Ha Jin-suk, head of the Sannae-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, expressed gratitude to the Sannae-myeon Youth Association for participating in the event and stated, “We will put more effort into safety measures such as heatwave and senior health management so that the elderly can stay healthy throughout this summer.”
