The World Educational Cultural Aid, an incorporated association, carried out recovery support volunteer work in Samseong-myeon, Eumseong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, which was damaged by a typhoon due to heavy rain on August 12.
Due to this heavy rain, Samseong-myeon suffered enormous damage, including landslides, river flooding, flooding of houses, and loss of roads and farmland.
Prior to providing support, the World Educational Cultural Aid surveyed the necessary supplies through officials from Samseong-myeon, and according to the survey, emergency relief items such as 500ml of water, masks, spam, ready-to-eat food, and ramen were provided to the affected Samsung-myeon free of charge to the victims' facility set up in the gymnasium of Samsung Middle School in Eumseong-gun.
In addition, it is said that employees took the lead in helping to restore crops such as sesame seeds and peppers, which were greatly damaged by this flood.

We are grateful that we can provide practical help to the victims through our sponsors' precious donations. We hope that the damage will be recovered as soon as possible."
An official from the World Educational Cultural Aid said, "We hope this will be of help to the victims affected by the torrential rain," and announced that they plan to provide additional support for the underprivileged and multicultural families who have suffered damage.
