Gwangju Yeongsinwon, a child care facility that has grown alongside the history of child welfare in the Gwangju area, announced on the 4th that it held a commemorative event in celebration of its recent 70th anniversary.

Held under the slogan "70 Years on a Blossoming Hill, the Resonance of Hope Will Bloom Again," the event commemorated the 70-year history of care that began amidst the ruins of war in 1956 and was organized to celebrate and encourage the confident independence of the children.

Since its founding in 1956, Gwangju Yeongsinwon has devoted itself to the advancement of community welfare. It began with emergency relief for war orphans, went through a period of welfare specialization in the 1980s, and has now evolved into a customized, child rights-centered facility supporting independent living.

The event featured a documentary video chronicling the facility's history, as well as an awards ceremony honoring long-time donors who have quietly practiced generosity. Congratulatory video messages from KIA Tigers players Kim Sunbin and Lee Eui-ri, who represent Gwangju, delivered great encouragement and hope to the children, making the occasion even more meaningful.

The event was attended by many distinguished guests, including local political and government figures, welfare facility representatives, and donors. It was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the past and share a vision for the future.

Choi Mose, Director of Gwangju Yeongsinwon, stated, "The past 70 years were possible thanks to the warm interest and support of the local community," and added, "We will continue to be a strong home, keeping our 'promise of 100 years,' so that the children may grow up to become healthy members of society."
