17,960,650 KRW Donated to the Warm Winter Love Piggy Bank Campaign

Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced that over 3,100 children from private kindergartens donated 17,960,650 KRW, demonstrating their love for neighbors with their small hands.

On January 15, children from private kindergartens in Songpa-gu visited the Songpa-gu Office’s Love Thermometer and handed over their precious savings as part of the “Warm Winter” project’s Love Piggy Bank fundraising campaign.

The total amount of 17,960,650 KRW was collected by approximately 3,100 private kindergarten students over two months since November, consisting of coins and heartfelt contributions, making it even more meaningful.

During the donation ceremony, the children had the opportunity to put the Love Piggy Banks containing their collected donations into a large piggy bank.

The district explained that by delivering the coins collected by the children to the local community, they provided an opportunity for the children to experience sharing love with neighbors in need.

Yoon Seo-ha, a child who attended the event, said, “I’m so happy thinking that this piggy bank can help friends in need.”

The donations filled with the children’s love will be entrusted to the Community Chest of Korea and used to support vulnerable groups in need, such as low-income disabled individuals, single-parent families, and elderly people living alone.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, “The coins collected by young children with their small hands and the love and sharing contained in those piggy banks are invaluable beyond monetary value. We will strive to implement welfare policies without exclusion so that these precious helping hands are not wasted and to make Songpa a better place to live.”
