Estekpo Port Woori Hospital, an event to share kimchi for North Korean defectors during the warm winter with the taste of their hometowns
|
Sarang Jeongwon (Chairman Kim Sun-ae), a corporation that has served low-income multicultural families, North Korean defectors, and socially underprivileged people for the past 20 years, held a sharing event to sponsor kimchi and daily necessities for low-income North Korean defectors' families in Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul for three days from November 27 to 29.
Preparing kimchi for winter is a big burden to neighbors who are in financial difficulties these days due to the recession caused by the global economic downturn and high prices. The Kimjang Sharing Event, which marks its 11th anniversary this year, was designed to help low-income North Korean defector families spend the winter, and it is meaningful that most of the volunteers participate are North Korean defectors who share love for their neighbors who are experiencing the same experience and difficulties. The volunteers who participated in the event said they felt like they came to their hometown, where they could not go even if they wanted to, making North Korean kimchi, and expressed their hope that they would be treated with this kimchi and soothe their longing for their hometown.
In particular, the participation of STEC Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Byung-hwa), a company specializing in comprehensive safety solutions, and Pohang Woori Hospital (Director Choi Gun), the world's best spine hospital, is notable.
Kim Sun-ae, chairman of the Sarang Garden, which supported the low-income underprivileged neighbors to spend the winter every year, said "I hope this event will not only be about sharing food, but also provide comfort and love to neighbors in need and help them adapt well to Korean society."
We hope that the love sharing of Sarang Garden, which is joined by Estek Co., Ltd. and Pohang Woori Hospital, will be a warm bonfire in the cold winter for neighbors in need.
