Donation of Recovery Fund for Damage Caused by Turkiye Earthquake


The Yangsan-si Chapter (Head Park Mal-tae) delivered KRW 3.16 million to Yangsan Mayor Na Dong-yeon at the Yangsan City Hall Situation Room on February 21. The money was donated by Park and other PUAC members in Yangsan to aid recovery and relief of the victims of the strong earthquakes in Turkiye (formerly Turkey). The quakes caused immense casualties and damage to houses and buildings.



Chapter Head Park said, "There is a saying that people who forget history has no future. Turkiye (formerly Turkey) is a brother country of Korea which helped us by sending the fourth-largest U.N. military contingent during the Korean War, in which the two countries became blood-tied allies. Had it not been for Turkey and the U.N. forces at that time, would we be able to be as we are today?” "I hope this will be of small help to the brothers of Turkiye who lost their families, relatives and neighbors overnight, as they try to recover from the damage and return to their daily lives as soon as possible," Park said. "Koreans from the ancient time have cherished the value of helping each other during the hard times, and the Yangsan Chapter will continue to promote relief campaign for the earthquake victims."



The Yangsan-si Chapter has been undertaking various social contribution programs. Last year, it hosted a unification-wishing sharing event and a kimchi sharing event for North Korean defectors, Koreans who returned from Sakhalin and five Northern Provinces.
