This event was part of the 2024 Samho District Urban Regeneration Support Project, with the Global Leader Group, formed within the Yangsan Foreign Worker Support Center, participating. Around 50 foreign workers and local residents joined together to pick up litter and separate recyclable waste as part of the “Creating a Clean Village” initiative.

The “Global Leader Group” is a volunteer group (Global Volunteer) composed mainly of exemplary foreign workers who use the center, working alongside local residents in volunteer activities. About 20 foreign workers are members of this group.

The Hope Woongsang Association was selected as the implementing agency for the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s “Foreign Worker Local Settlement Support Project.” The center opened in March this year and plans to provide free interpretation and counseling, Korean language education, and various welfare services for foreign workers in the area until 2026.

An official from Yangsan City stated, “The Global Leader Group, composed of exemplary foreign workers, is actively working in various ways to create a clean local community and promote harmony and awareness with local residents. The center plans to continue implementing various projects to support the increasing number of foreign workers settling in the region.”
