Vice Mayor Jo Hyun-ok, who attended the event, said, “I first want to express my gratitude to all volunteers who always take the lead in volunteering in the Yangsan area, and I cannot help but admire the courage to visit overseas regions where the climate, food, and sleeping conditions are uncomfortable. I am thankful to the volunteers of Yangsan City who silently serve without expecting any reward.”

Starting from this send-off ceremony, a total of 34 overseas volunteer team members will depart on the 6th and return on the 11th, engaging in various volunteer activities such as elementary school repair work, medical volunteering, hairdressing and disinfection services, cultural exchange, and Korean food experience.

Chairman Lee Jin-hee said, “The Volunteer Organizations Council of Yangsan City has continued overseas volunteer work over five missions, exerting a positive influence on national interests. Through this 6th volunteer mission in the Taal area of the Philippines, we will widely promote Yangsan City and bring honor to the Republic of Korea.”
