[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] On the 18th at 3 p.m., Seongwoo Sunim, chairman of the Global Village Coexistence Association and chairman of Dongguk University Foundation, visited Changwon Special City Hall in Gyeongnam to present a plaque of appreciation.

This visit by Seongwoo Sunim was to express gratitude to Changwon City for its continuous support of child education and healthcare projects in developing countries.

Since signing a memorandum of understanding with the Global Village Coexistence Association and Takeo Province, Cambodia in 2012, the city has built the "Changwon International Education Cooperation Center" in Cambodia and has been continuously promoting support projects.

Opened in 2013, the "Changwon International Education Cooperation Center" (hereafter the Center) is a multipurpose complex building with a total floor area of 297㎡, equipped with a kindergarten, library, health clinic, and restrooms. It contributes to the global community’s shared growth by carrying out local child education, community healthcare support, and strengthening Changwon City's international education network projects.

The Center’s operation is managed by the Global Village Coexistence Association according to the memorandum of understanding. The Association is an international development cooperation NGO under the Ministry of Health and Welfare, conducting welfare projects for the elderly and vulnerable groups domestically, while actively engaging in water improvement, education support, and landmine removal projects through six overseas branches in Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Kenya, Myanmar, and Nepal.

Hong Nam-pyo, mayor of Changwon Special City, said, “We appreciate the cooperation of the Global Village Coexistence Association in practicing the value of living together,” and added, “We hope that the value of sharing will continue to spread beyond nations and races to every corner of the globe.”
