In particular, children participating in Dream Start recently achieved a 100% pass rate in a Chinese character class, and performed a belly dance at the Gokseong County Residents' Day event, which received an enthusiastic response from the community. These diverse activities are reported to significantly boost children's confidence, aid in their social development, and help foster positive character traits.

A Gokseong County official stated, "We plan to continue expanding our efforts, including parental education, family camps, and various programs such as arts and physical education support, to strengthen family functions. We will provide systematic support so that local children can grow up healthy without falling through the cracks."
