Gwangyang Steelworks Friends Volunteer Group Presents Sweet Christmas to Children

Delivered Handmade Christmas Cakes to 50 Multicultural and Single-Parent Families

Attracting Attention by Transforming into a One-Day Santa Full of Christmas Spirit

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks Friends Talent Volunteer Group (Leader Choi Chang-rok) added warmth by gifting cakes for children to multicultural families and single-parent families in the region on the 22nd, ahead of Christmas.

The Friends Volunteer Group, welcoming Christmas, came together with the hope that local children would smile happily through the cakes and enjoy joyful times with their families. Following last year, they prepared Christmas cakes they made themselves again this year.

Despite the cold weather, the volunteers gathered after work at a cooking classroom located in Jung-dong, Gwangyang City, to make sweet gifts to deliver to the children.

Under the guidance of a professional baking instructor, they added white fresh cream to the bread and used decorations such as Christmas logos, Rudolph, snowmen, and strawberries to create cakes filled with the scent of Christmas.

The completed Christmas cakes were personally delivered to 50 multicultural and single-parent families in the region by Gwangyang Steelworks employees who transformed into one-day Santas. The children’s faces blossomed with smiles upon receiving the cakes from the Santas.

In particular, this sharing activity holds deep meaning as it was carried out mainly by about 30 MZ employees of Gwangyang Steelworks with the help of long-serving employees, sharing the innocence of childhood together.

Yoo Da-som and Jo Eun-kyung, Gwangyang Steelworks employees who participated as one-day Santas for the children, said, “I feel warm-hearted to be able to participate in an event that brings happiness to children at the end of the year,” and added, “I hope the children spend a Christmas full of love with their families through the cakes.”

Gwangyang Steelworks, based on the fund of the ‘POSCO 1% Sharing Foundation’ created from 1% of POSCO employees’ salaries, is actively supporting stable settlement of marriage migrant families in the community through ▲ multicultural family weddings ▲ reminder wedding photo shoots ▲ hometown visit projects ▲ fostering puppet troupes centered on migrant women.
