Busan Port Authority Pauses Work to Volunteer Painting Old Houses Near the Port

Three Happiness Gifts for Elderly Living Alone

Housing Improvement 'Haengbok Hae Sarangnanum' Campaign Unfolds

Employees of Busan Port Authority (BPA, President Kang Jun-seok) put down their work briefly and picked up paintbrushes. They carried out renovation work by painting old houses near Busan Port.

On the 30th, BPA announced that it conducted an exterior painting volunteer activity on aging houses to improve the living environment of elderly people living alone in Munhyeon-dong, Nam-gu.

Employees from Busan Port Security Corporation, Busan Port Facilities Management Center, and Korea South-East Power also participated in the volunteer activity hosted by the Busan Regional Problem-Solving Platform.

The volunteer group visited seven households in Munhyeon-dong and repainted rooftops, stairs, walls, and exterior surfaces in colors requested by the elderly residents.

Volunteers from Busan Port Authority and others are visiting the homes of elderly people living alone near Busan Port to paint old fences.

This year, BPA is carrying out three activities under the title “Happy Hae Love Sharing” to participate in and jointly solve problems in areas near the port.

In September, they visited the rooftop of an old apartment in Jung-gu, Busan, which lacked insulation. Employees personally painted the rooftop with “cool roof” paint to help ease the heat-related difficulties experienced by the elderly residents.

On November 23, in preparation for the cold winter, they directly installed window insulation materials in the homes of 17 elderly people in Dong-gu, Busan. The recent exterior painting volunteer work was the final gift of the “Happy Hae Love Sharing” activities.

A BPA employee who participated in the volunteer work said, “It was meaningful not only to help the elderly live comfortably at home but also to have warm and heartfelt conversations with them.”

BPA President Kang Jun-seok stated, “We are discovering and supporting projects needed by neighbors in difficulty through cooperation with the local community,” adding, “We will take the lead in solving problems in communities near the port.”
