Warm Sharing Delivered by Tiny Hands: Children’s Giving Experience Held at the Donor Hall of Fame

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it held the “A Tap with Tiny Hands! Children’s Sharing Experience” event on Jan. 16 at the Donor Hall of Fame at City Hall.

This event was designed to help children, the leaders of the next generation, directly experience the value and joy of sharing and naturally encounter the warm giving culture of the local community.

Around 30 participants, including 25 children from the Busan Metropolitan City Hall Daycare Center and their teachers, took part in the event. Tailored to children’s perspectives, the program proceeded energetically in the following order: an introduction to the Donor Hall of Fame, an unmanned donation kiosk experience, and a commemorative photo session.

In particular, the children experienced giving through the unmanned information terminal (kiosk) installed in October last year in the lobby on the first floor of the City Hall building.

Using a single card, the children made donations easily, took verification photos, and confirmed the process by which their names and faces were registered at the hall of fame. Through this, they naturally felt that sharing is not something difficult or grand, but rather a joyful and rewarding part of everyday life.

One participating teacher shared, “It was a meaningful time in which the children learned about ‘sharing,’ which they had only thought of vaguely, in a fun, game-like way through a familiar device—an unmanned donation kiosk.”

Jeong Tae-gi, Director General of the Social Welfare Bureau, stated, “The pure hearts of the children who participated so sincerely in giving with their tiny hands will make our society even brighter,” adding, “Going forward, we will actively utilize the Donor Hall of Fame to build ‘Busan, a leading city of sharing,’ where people of all ages can enjoy the joy of giving in their daily lives.”
