On May 4th, in celebration of Children's Day, Deo Keun Sarang Nursing Home and Match Match Daycare Center in Nonsan-si, Chungnam, donated playground equipment and snacks worth about 1 million won to Nonsan Orphanage, the organizations announced on the 6th.

The donation funds were raised by collecting and selling old clothes throughout April by employees and the elderly, as well as through fundraising efforts.

On that day, children from Nonsan Orphanage, members of the Nonsan Parangsae Choir, performed a play party for the elderly, singing the song "We Are All Precious" and shouting, "We can change the world together!"

Kim Young-sook (76), an elderly resident, responded by singing the song "You Were Born to Be Loved" to the children.

Director Yoo Yong-hee said, "We are grateful that the elderly, who have lived a hundred years, encourage the next generation and set an example by passing on a good future," adding, "We will continue activities that help the elderly participate in social activities and enhance their self-esteem."

Song Gyu-sang, director of Nonsan Orphanage, said, "The children were very happy because they rarely had the chance to meet grandfathers and grandmothers up close, and they were even more surprised that elderly residents in their 90s from the nursing home came. It was a truly meaningful time."
