[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jo Ok-hyun, a member of the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly (Democratic Party of Korea·Mokpo 2), visited social welfare facilities on the 23rd ahead of the Chuseok holiday to encourage staff and deliver consolation gifts.


On this day, the visits were conducted in a non-face-to-face manner outside the facilities by visiting four social welfare facilities in the Mokpo area, including the Seonam Disabled Children's Center.


Also, considering the resurgence of COVID-19, the visits were carried out while minimizing the number of visitors and complying with quarantine guidelines.


Assemblyman Jo Ok-hyun expressed gratitude for the hard work of social welfare facility staff and asked for continued interest.


Assemblyman Jo Ok-hyun said, "Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and rising living costs, vulnerable groups in welfare blind spots are facing many difficulties," and added, "I hope this Chuseok will be a time to share love with neighbors who need help and attention."



Jo Ok-hyun, who serves as the chairman of the Education Committee of the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly, has been active since 2018 as the representative member of the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly's research group, 'Health and Welfare Worker Support Policy Development Research Association,' leading efforts to improve the treatment of social welfare facility workers.
