Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam, became the first donor in the "Soda Water Donation Relay" along with Kang Gicheol, Chairman of the Gyeongnam Community Chest of Korea.

The ‘Sodasu Donation Relay’ means many small donations from numerous people, a donation relay that aims to make society clear and refreshing through the interest and warmth of many.

Changwon Special City and the Gyeongnam Community Chest of Korea created a ‘Changwon City exclusive QR code’ to promote a culture of continuous donation. Anyone with a mobile phone can easily participate in donations regardless of the amount, and can also recommend donations to family, friends, and acquaintances.

Mayor Hong, as the first donor, recommended donations to Kim Igeun, Chairman of the Changwon City Council, and local district members of the National Assembly, saying, “We hope for the interest and participation of many citizens.”

The city and the Community Chest have designated the period until October as an intensive fundraising period and plan to promote participation by many citizens. The collected funds will be used to support living expenses, fuel costs, and other needs for children in low-income families, single-parent and multicultural families, and other vulnerable households.

Amounts donated to the ‘Sodasu Donation Relay’ are also eligible for tax benefits with year-end donation receipts.
