In addition, we plan to provide support for legal problems that bereaved families may experience through legal counseling, and pay up to 70 million won in provincial safety insurance.
In addition, we plan to proceed with local tax reduction and refund procedures for the victims’ families in accordance with the Local Tax Restriction Act, and refund the taxes already paid.
Kim Gwan-young, Governor of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, said, “We decided to provide support through the Korean Red Cross to share the pain of the bereaved families who are experiencing great sadness due to an unexpected aircraft accident.” He added, “We will continue to sympathize with the pain of the bereaved families and help provide practical help.” “We will spare no effort in providing all the support we can,” he said.
“What eases sadness is not loud, flashy words, but a warm touch and a hearty meal.”
Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Volunteer Center (Chairman Go Young-ho) has operated an integrated volunteer group at the Jeju Air accident site since December 30 of last year, providing hearty meals and warmth to the bereaved families and field personnel.
The volunteer center set up a booth at Muan Airport immediately after the accident and provided hot meals for three days to about 4,000 bereaved families and relief workers. Despite the cold weather, volunteers prepared each meal with care, hoping to provide some comfort to the bereaved families and field personnel.
Volunteers from the Jeonbuk Diocese of the Won Buddhism Service Association (Chairman Ahn Hyun-jin) and the Central, Gwangju, and Jeonnam Dioceses of the Won Buddhism Service Association prepared the food with all their heart.
On the first floor of Muan Airport, a volunteer warmth sharing heart rest area has been set up. Here, necessary items such as tea, drinks, and snacks were provided to officials, mourners, and volunteers who came to share the pain of the bereaved family.
At the volunteer warmth sharing heart rest center, 350 handmade chocolate pies from the local Pungnyun Bakery and 600 steamed buns from Seulji Bakery were delivered to the bereaved families and volunteers, and Ssanghwatang and warm coffee were a small respite for them in the cold weather. It was done.
A bereaved family member who stopped by the shelter said with tears in his eyes, “Someone’s warm touch is a great help.”
The children’s shelter established for the children of bereaved families operated a psychological stability program. The Promise International Disaster Psychological Support Group and the Korea Central Volunteer Center worked together to help children feel a sense of stability.
Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Volunteer Center Chairman Koh Young-ho said, “We wanted to be with the bereaved families at the scene of the accident, sympathize with their sadness, and convey consolation. Volunteering is not just about helping, it is a valuable activity that connects people’s hearts.” said.
Chairman Ko continued, “We will do our best to quickly engage with volunteers whenever and wherever help is needed, and we will continue to make efforts to ensure speedy stability and resolution.”
