Park Young-hwan, chairman of the Village Making Residents' Council, said, “It was a truly meaningful event where we could share warm hearts with neighbors to overcome the heatwave,” and added, “We will continue to strive to practice more sharing for the village and residents.”

Kim Mi-kyung, camp leader of the Sangmu 1-dong Volunteer Camp, also said, “I hope the companion plants we distributed help people overcome the exhausting hot weather,” and “We will practice more volunteer work to make Sangmu 1-dong brighter and warmer.”

Meanwhile, this sharing event is scheduled to be held two more times at the 5·18 Memorial Park until the second week of next month.
