[Joongbu Daily Reporter Song Mun-yong] On the 4th, the World Educational Cultural Aid (WECA) delivered 30 packets of white rice (10 kg) to Sinbang-dong, Cheonan-si and 50 packets to Ssangyong 2-dong for low-income households, including vulnerable children and the underprivileged.
An official from the World Educational Cultural Aid said, "We recently held a free mask sharing campaign, and Ssangyong 2-dong was willing to provide convenience such as providing a location, so we donated white rice in return. We also hope that families with vulnerable children in Shinbang-dong will have a warm holiday, and we will do our best to support children."
Jeong Jin-guk, Ssangyong 2-dong, said, “I am grateful to the World Educational Cultural Aid for sharing warm love for neighbors during the Lunar New Year holiday with the underprivileged in areas difficult due to COVID-19,” and added, “I will deliver the white rice to those in need.”
An official from Sinbang-dong said, “We are grateful to individuals, institutions, and groups for practicing love for their neighbors in celebration of the Lunar New Year holiday,” and added, “We will make efforts to link door-to-door counseling services so that vulnerable groups in the region are not left out.”
Meanwhile, the World Educational Cultural Aid is a non-profit corporation under the jurisdiction of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, established in 2006. Its purpose is to nurture a community of harmony by nurturing talent and instilling the will for self-reliance throughout the world through cultural and educational exchanges, and to support education for the underprivileged and spread a donation culture.
