Mokpo Yang Eum Lion Club, Volunteer Service at Local Children's Center for the Holiday Season

Volunteering Practiced for 4 Years This Year, a Model for the Local Community

[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] The Jeonnam Mokpo Yang-eun Lions Club of the International Lions 355-B2 District visited a local children's center on the 9th to conduct recreational volunteer activities in celebration of Chuseok.

Entering its fourth year, the "Visiting Yang-eun Service" is organized and participated in directly by club members each time, moving beyond simple donation-based volunteer work.

Especially this year, the Yang-eun Club planned recreational volunteer activities where they could play directly with the children at the local children's center, spending enjoyable time with interesting games such as jegichagi (Korean shuttlecock kicking) and dart games in celebration of the holiday.

Jo Beomcheol, the 30th president of the Yang-eun Lions Club, who upholds the Lions motto "We Serve," said, "I hope the virtue of sharing will lead to social and cultural changes and create a society where we coexist and prosper together. I also hope that the children who are smiling brightly today will grow up to bring that smile to others."

On this day, President Jo and about 30 Lions and members' families participated in volunteer activities filled with laughter and enjoyment through recreation, and prepared cultural gift certificates worth about 3 million won, school supplies, snacks, and other items to be delivered to the children's center.

Kim Mija, director of the children's center, responded, "Even amid a prolonged economic downturn, I am grateful to the members of the Yang-eun Lions Club who visit the children's center and generously provide laughter and material support to the children."
