The 6th donor of this relay donation, the Gyeongnam Bank Labor Union, has shown interest in social contribution activities for the local community since the launch of the 19th labor union in 2022. They gathered 5 million won from union members and donated it to support the recovery of abused children.

Changwon City's donation relay, titled "Even if Scratched by Petals, Scars Remain," which started last year, is a project aimed at creating a culture of donation through local resource linkage and preventing re-abuse by restoring family functions. It embodies the aspiration of Changwon Special City, a child-friendly city, to achieve ZERO child abuse.

Through five meaningful donations so far, over 25 million won has been raised. Using these funds, the Changwon Child Protection Agency has conducted home visit psychological counseling and treatment, various experiential activities to strengthen family bonds, and family trips as part of family function restoration programs. These initiatives have led to high satisfaction among participants and contributed to preventing re-abuse.

Kim Jeong-hyun, chairman of the labor union, said, “As members of the local community, we will continue to take responsibility and strive to prevent child abuse. We hope this donation will be a small help to abused children.”

Hong Nam-pyo, mayor of Changwon Special City, expressed gratitude for the donation, stating, “The ongoing donation relay spreads positive motivation within the community and serves as a foundation for achieving zero child abuse.” He added, “In response to the community’s interest, our city will do its best to create an environment where children can grow up more safely.”
