On this day, Mayor Lee visited the Naneuuri Workshop, a vocational rehabilitation facility for individuals with severe developmental disabilities, the eSports Training Center, and two vulnerable households, taking meaningful time to listen to the voices of those on the ground.

Naneuuri Workshop, located in Deogyang-gu, Goyang City, is a vocational rehabilitation facility for people with disabilities where a total of 15 individuals with severe developmental disabilities participate in vocational rehabilitation programs and work.

Here, trainees with developmental disabilities are directly involved in every stage of coffee bean production, from selecting green beans to roasting and packaging, as they pursue independence as members of society.

Mayor Lee toured the facility to ensure there were no inconveniences and personally offered holiday greetings and encouragement to both the trainees and staff.

The eSports Training Center, located in the same building, is also where the Goyang City Developmental Disabilities eSports Team trains. This team recently won gold and silver medals in the eSports category at the Special Olympics Korea National Summer Games held in Goyang City.

Park Sunja, president of the Gyeonggi-do Association, expressed gratitude by saying, "I would like to thank Mayor Lee Donghwan and all the staff of the Department of Welfare for Persons with Disabilities for their generous support, which allows people with developmental disabilities to realize their dreams and potential. Thanks to your efforts, we can all enjoy an even warmer Chuseok this year."
