Lee Gijae, Yangcheon District Mayor, Attends Baenetjeogori Volunteer Group Launch Ceremony and Delivery Event

Lee Gijae, Mayor of Yangcheon District, attended the Baenetjeogori Volunteer Group launch ceremony and delivery event at the Yangcheon Volunteer Center on the afternoon of the 16th.

The event was held with about 40 members, including Yang Oksoon, president of the Baenetjeogori Volunteer Group, and proceeded in the order of ▲watching an activity video ▲celebratory performance ▲delivery of Baenetjeogori.

In particular, the Baenetjeogori Volunteer Group of Yangcheon District added significance by personally making all the Baenetjeogori and delivering them to 13 pregnant women expecting childbirth.

The district, in cooperation with the Baenetjeogori Volunteer Group affiliated with the Yangcheon Volunteer Center, has supported over 500 hand-sewn Baenetjeogori for low-income vulnerable groups and single mother facilities in the region who have given birth to newborns since 2013. Reflecting the recent serious low birthrate situation, the support target has been expanded from low-income vulnerable groups to all childbirth families in the district starting this year.

Lee Gijae, Mayor of Yangcheon District, said, “To contribute even a little to the increasingly serious low birthrate problem, we are delivering handmade Baenetjeogori to all childbirth families in the region through the first public-private cooperation in Seoul,” adding, “I hope that the volunteers’ sincerity and heartfelt wishes celebrating the precious birth will be conveyed through the Baenetjeogori that connects the child and the world for the first time.”
