N. Gyeongsang saemaul women's group makes 2,700 kg of kimchi for vulnerable residents

The North Gyeongsang Province Saemaul Women's Association held a kimchi-making event at the provincial government building Thursday, with about 200 members preparing 2,700 kilograms — more than 1,400 heads — of kimchi for distribution to vulnerable residents and welfare facilities.

North Gyeongsang Province Governor Lee Cheol-woo, provincial assembly Speaker Kim Hee-su and provincial education superintendent Lim Jong-sik also attended.

District-level saemaul women's groups plan to involve some 6,000 participants through the end of the year, aiming to share 100,000 heads of kimchi. Last year, the groups delivered 77,835 heads to 14,937 households.

"I hope the kimchi made with such care by our members brings comfort to neighbors in need and spreads the value of sharing throughout our community," Governor Lee said.
