"From Praise to 730kg of Rice"… Wando Maritime Police Shares with Neighbors on 73rd Anniversary

Rice Purchased Through Staff Council’s “Praise Relay” Fund

10 Kilograms Delivered to Each of 73 Vulnerable Households

Wando Maritime Police Station will practice neighborly love by delivering rice to 73 vulnerable households in its jurisdiction on September 10, in celebration of the 73rd Marine Police Day.

This sharing initiative was organized by the Wando Maritime Police staff council, which was newly launched in July this year. The event was arranged to give back the support and interest received from the public to the local community and to reach out to marginalized neighbors, such as elderly people living alone.

The Wando Maritime Police staff council is a consultative body operated to improve employees' work environment, resolve difficulties, and promote sound communication and policy suggestions within the organization.

Earlier, during August, Wando Maritime Police ran the campaign "Praise Relay 73 Completed by Sharing." In order to expand the culture of mutual praise and encouragement among staff members into the local community, employees voluntarily raised funds, using the proceeds to purchase 730 kilograms of Wando rice, adding significance to the campaign.

The rice will be delivered to neighbors in need within the jurisdiction, with 10 kilograms allotted per household. Although it is a small gesture, it aims to provide tangible support to the daily lives of community members in need.

Kim Joungho, chairperson of the council, stated, "A small action born out of the intention to encourage one another has developed into sharing with our local neighbors. I hope the warm sincerity of Wando Maritime Police staff is well conveyed to those in need."

Chief Kim Taehwan expressed, "It is both meaningful and heartwarming that, on the 73rd Marine Police Day, our staff have been able to voluntarily share with the local community the support and affection that the public has shown us over the years."
