Gwangju Gyelim 1-dong 'Today is Hair Day' Receives Positive Response

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gyerim 1-dong Community Social Security Council (Chairman Kim Young-soon) in Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 28th that it operated the event ‘Today is Hair Day’ for 30 neighbors in need of care.

‘Today is Hair Day’ is a hairdressing volunteer event for elderly and disabled neighbors in need of care. Since 2020, it has been carried out through talent donations from local Sarangbang Hair Shop (Director Yeom Hyun-soon), Hwani Hair Shop (Director Heo Yoon-sook), and the Gwangju Dong-gu RaMi Volunteer Group (President Lee Ye-sun).

The hairdressing volunteer service, held on the last week of every month, has become a time for communication among neighbors, including checking on the well-being of neighbors in need of care and listening to their difficulties, as well as hair care.

An elderly person who received the hairdressing service said, “Every month, the skilled directors make my hair look beautiful, so I feel like I am getting younger day by day, which makes me happy,” and added, “I look forward to this day because I can get my hair done and have conversations.”

Kang Hwan-won, head of Gyerim 1-dong, said, “I thank the residents who are practicing sharing for neighbors in need of care through talent sharing such as hairdressing,” and added, “We will actively discover and promote various projects where neighbors can feel warm affection, including free hairdressing services.”
