[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On the 27th, the Gyeongbuk Office of Education held a ceremony to deliver the cooling expense support fund ‘I Siwon’ for low-income energy-poor students in the region, together with the World Vision Daegu-Gyeongbuk Business Headquarters.

World Vision is a global NGO that practices love to help the most vulnerable children, families, and communities worldwide escape poverty and inequality, and creates sustainable change together with all partners.

The ‘I Siwon’ support fund will provide a total of 40 million KRW, with 250,000 KRW per household, to 160 elementary school students expected to face difficulties due to the heatwave, so that the students and their families can spend the hot summer coolly and healthily.

At the delivery ceremony, 10 officials including Superintendent Im Jong-sik and Park Jong-gu, head of the World Vision Daegu-Gyeongbuk Business Headquarters, attended. Despite the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic causing many difficulties for students, they found families in welfare blind spots and provided generous support, making it a meaningful occasion of beautiful hopeful companionship.

Superintendent Im Jong-sik said, “Through the ‘I Siwon’ support fund with World Vision, I hope low-income students and families can prepare well for the summer heatwave and have a cool summer. We will continue to strive to improve the quality of life for vulnerable students.”
