Gyeongbuk Office of Education Volunteers for Wildfire Recovery at Fruit Orchards in Imha-myeon, Andong

On May 15, the Gyeongbuk Office of Education (Superintendent Lim Jong-sik) visited fruit orchards in Geumso-ri, Imha-myeon, Andong City to conduct on-site volunteer work for the restoration of damage caused by a recent large-scale wildfire.

This activity was organized to support the prompt recovery of areas declared special disaster zones due to a series of simultaneous wildfires that broke out across Gyeongbuk, beginning in Uiseong County in March.

Employees of the Gyeongbuk Office of Education are working hard to restore fire damage at fruit orchards in Geumso-ri, Imha-myeon, Andong City.

On this day, 18 employees from the Administrative Division of the Gyeongbuk Office of Education voluntarily participated, assisting with essential restoration tasks such as removing dead trees and clearing vegetation in the orchards. At sites where trees unable to survive due to fire damage had been left unattended, they worked manually to restore wide areas, sweating as they labored.

The Gyeongbuk Office of Education planned this volunteer activity not only for physical restoration, but also to demonstrate a responsible attitude as a public institution by sharing in the community's hardships and participating in its recovery.

Jang Jungchan, Director of the Administrative Division at the Gyeongbuk Office of Education, said, "This activity is not just a one-time volunteer event, but a practical example of educational administration working in harmony with the local community. We will continue to faithfully fulfill our role as a public institution that coexists with the community through various forms of social contribution activities."
