[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Korean Red Cross Volunteer Society Gyeongnam Hapcheon District Council held an autumn outing event on the 25th, taking about 40 elderly residents of the Gyeongnam Hapcheon Atomic Bomb Victims Welfare Center to the Geoje Island area.

On this day, the event provided an opportunity for cultural experiences and an outing to the elderly residents of the Atomic Bomb Victims Welfare Center, who usually have limited chances for cultural activities and find it difficult to go outside. They explored the Geoje Island area and experienced riding the cable car.

An elderly participant said, "On this beautiful autumn day, I enjoyed a feast for the eyes with new scenery away from everyday views, and spent a pleasant day engaging in cheerful conversations with many people."

Kim Haeng-jin, chairman of the Hapcheon District Council, said, "I hope this long-awaited outing helped open up hearts that had been closed and relieved stress," adding, "We will continue to strive to provide various cultural experience opportunities to improve the quality of life for the elderly."
