한동훈, Special Volunteer Service for Children during Chuseok

한동훈, the leader of the People Power Party, conducted a volunteer activity to provide Chuseok gifts for children suffering from hunger. On September 13, 2024, he visited the Sangrokji Area Child Welfare Comprehensive Town in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, and participated in packaging Chuseok presents for underprivileged children. This volunteer activity aimed to distribute lunchboxes and food kits to children facing hunger, emphasizing his commitment to politics for the well-being of children.

Volunteer Activity Providing Lunchboxes for Underprivileged Children

On this day, 한동훈 personally packed and delivered lunchboxes for children at the Sangrokji Area Child Welfare Center. In the visitor log, he wrote, “Let’s be with the children. We will learn a lot together,” expressing his hope for the children to have a pleasant time.

Commitment to Bridging the Generation Gap through a ₩50 million Donation

Rather than sending gifts to internal and external party members, 한동훈 decided to donate ₩50 million to the Sangrokji Area Child Welfare Comprehensive Town. This donation, aimed at bridging the generation gap, reflects his determination to address the issue. 한동훈 stated, “It may not be a significant amount of money, but we had several discussions on how to use it.” He explained that this volunteer activity was proposed to raise awareness of the fact that some children cannot have a proper meal during the holiday period.

Emphasizing Political Will and Social Responsibility

한동훈 stated, “The People Power Party wants to engage in politics together with our children. We will make efforts to achieve that.” He expressed his apologies for the continuous presence of elderly volunteers, who always serve society, stating that it made him realize the need for more effort in politics. He further emphasized, “We feel that we have learned a lot. I promise to continue politics together with all of you until the end.”

Continuity with Previous Volunteer Activities

During his time as the Emergency Preparedness Committee Chairman, 한동훈 donated coal worth 70,000 units to the “Shared Table Community Coal Bank” during the Lunar New Year in January. He also participated in a volunteer activity to deliver 2,000 pieces of coal to the Baeksamaeul in Nowon-gu. These continuous social contributions reflect 한동훈’s political philosophy.

Involvement of the Party Leadership

Party leaders of the People Power Party, including Kim Sang-hoon, the Policy Committee Chair, Seo Beom-su, the Secretary-General, Jin Jong-oh, the Youth Committee Chair, Kim Jong-hyuk, the Chief Committee Chair, Jung Sung-guk, the Organization Committee Chair, and Han Ji-ah, the Senior Spokesperson, participated in this Chuseok volunteer activity. They joined in packaging lunchboxes and conveyed warm hearts to the children.

Separate Activity by Representative Choo Kyung-ho

Representative Choo Kyung-ho visited the “House of Stars,” a memorial communication space in Itaewon, Seoul, to comfort the bereaved families. This demonstrates the People Power Party’s efforts to strengthen connections with the local community and their interest in various social issues.

Political Efforts for Children

한동훈 expressed his hope for the children to have a slightly better time, emphasizing the importance of volunteer activities. He stated, “The People Power Party wants to engage in politics together with our children” and promised to continue making efforts to fulfill this vision. This determination reflects his commitment as a politician to fulfill social responsibilities.

Social Responsibility and Political Engagement

This volunteer activity by 한동훈 and the People Power Party strengthens communication with the local community and contributes to raising awareness of the issue of underprivileged children. 한동훈’s donation and volunteer activities serve as examples of simultaneously fulfilling political will and social responsibility.
