Project: From the early 1980s, people moved to city getting a job followed by Korean industrialization. While parents were working outside till the late of the night, children had not fully cared by their parents from security, nutrition and education. Unfortunately most of them are disadvantaged financially. Due to the reason, religious institution started the services for children those who needed good hands. This is beginning of the Local Children Center. In 2004, those places were recognized as an official place as a shelter of the children who are in needs, under the law. And it has been partly supported by government. However, financial support from the government is still quite limited. The Local Children Center operates by local church. The center has many children who are growing up in families with one parent, or grandparents. The center provides children not only a shelter so that children could protect them until their parents come but also educational and cultural opportunities so that children can open up a door to a new experience. Most of them have fewer opportunities meeting foreigners, so with the help of international volunteers, the local children can experience global awareness while volunteers can feel the warmth and kindness of this rural Korean community.Jeongeup, connected to Mt. Naejang National Park and Mt. Ibam, is an especially stunning city to tour during the spring and autumn seasons.
