This donation was prepared by the support association composed of professors and staff of Gyeongnam National University, who saved a portion of their monthly salaries over the course of a year. It is planned to be delivered to 100 youths from single-parent families and economically disadvantaged family caregivers, recommended by local town and township offices.
The Gyeongnam National University Support Association for Children from Single-Parent Families has been practicing neighborly love at the end of each year since 2013 by having professors and staff save a fixed amount monthly. Until last year, it has contributed over 198 million KRW to children and youth in Changwon City, helping to spread a culture of sharing in the local community.
Kim Jae-gu, Dean of Student Affairs at Gyeongnam National University, said, “Our support association started in 2013 and this year marks the 10th year of providing donations to youths facing difficulties in Changwon City. Youths are supposed to be cared for by their parents, but family caregiver youths who must take care of their families are struggling. We hope this support will help them continue their studies without giving up on their precious dreams, even if only a little.”
