Pledge to Advance Community Welfare Through Communication and Unity

A gathering was held for social welfare workers and volunteers to come together, communicate, and strengthen their unity as they pledged to advance community welfare.

On November 2, Changwon Special City in South Gyeongsang Province held the "Changwon Welfare Deulssukdeulssuk! Talk" event at the Citizens' Hall in City Hall, hosted by the Changwon City Social Welfare Council.

About 150 people attended, including Changwon Special City Mayor Kang Giyun, Changwon Special City Council Chair Lee Haeryeon, city council members, council executives and staff, heads of welfare-related institutions, sponsoring organizations, and volunteers. The event served as an occasion to reaffirm their commitment to advancing community welfare and encourage one another.

At the event, Jo Seongcheol, chairman of the Inae Welfare Foundation, gave a special lecture titled "A Pause for Tired Hearts, Vitality for Organizations That Work Together!" The lecture offered a chance to reflect on the importance of emotional recovery for social welfare workers and fostering a vibrant organizational culture.

At the commemorative ceremony that followed, awards were presented to people who had contributed to the advancement of community welfare. In particular, three individuals, including Kim Gyeongyeon of the Masan Welfare Center for Persons with Disabilities, and the Korea Expressway Corporation's Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters received citations from the Changwon Special City mayor. A total of 22 individuals and organizations were honored.

Changwon Special City Mayor Kang Giyun said, "I am deeply grateful to the social welfare workers and volunteers who stand by our citizens and devote themselves quietly, even in difficult circumstances. We will continue to put citizens first and work closely with welfare institutions and organizations to build Changwon into a warm city where everyone can feel the benefits of welfare."

If Changwon City recognizes how social welfare workers and volunteers diligently carry out their duties, even when faced with difficult tasks, I hope it will take the opportunity to provide administrative support that can help improve their working conditions, even a little.
