Jeollanam-do Governor Kim Youngrok participated in the "Beautiful Journey" volunteer activity organized by the Jeonnam branch of the Korea Association of the Physically Disabled, held on the 12th in Hannari Village, Hampyeong County, joining members with disabilities in volunteer work.


This volunteer event was attended by key figures, including Kim Jongtaek, Chairman of the Jeonnam branch of the Korea Association of the Physically Disabled, the heads of 22 city and county branches, Hampyeong County Mayor Lee Sangik, and Jeonnam Provincial Assemblyman Mo Jonghwan. Various sharing activities took place, such as providing hairdressing services and serving meals to seniors.


Governor Kim Youngrok took part in replacing old insect screens and fluorescent lights at the homes of elderly people living alone, working alongside other volunteers.


The governor presented commendations to three individuals who have devotedly participated in the volunteer activities since the first event, in recognition of their efforts.



Governor Kim stated, "I am proud and moved to see people with disabilities taking the lead as volunteers rather than simply being welfare recipients," adding, "We will continue to actively support various welfare policies and volunteer activities to realize an inclusive community where people with disabilities and residents live together in harmony."
