This program, held at local senior centers, went beyond simple reading instruction. Together with Professor Kim Eulho, seniors had the opportunity to read books and engage in meaningful conversations.

During the first session, a variety of activities-including a Hwatu card quiz, coloring for cognitive enhancement, and team-based puzzle solving-were offered, igniting the participants' enthusiasm. The lively and cheerful atmosphere was filled with laughter, and the turnout exceeded expectations, marking a vibrant start to the program.

One participating senior shared, "It was wonderful to gather after such a long time, not only to talk about books but also to enjoy various activities. It brought back old memories and warmed my heart." Another senior commented, "Not only did I gain new knowledge, but I also had so much fun with the quizzes that I lost track of time."

The head of one of the senior centers where the program took place remarked, "Seeing our seniors laughing brightly and engaging in diverse activities with Professor Kim Eulho makes me truly proud. The center is now filled with energy, and I am happy to see the vitality returning to our seniors' faces. I hope this program continues to provide comfort and vitality in their lives."

Yeoncheon County expects the Elderly Happiness Reading School to significantly enhance the quality of life for local seniors and further invigorate the reading culture in the community. The county plans to do its utmost to ensure that seniors in other centers can also enjoy these fulfilling reading experiences in the future.
