I read a lot of news about Guryong Village and Jaegun Village in Gangnam-gu when I was preparing for my last week presentation. And I know that many people who lived there are still having difficulty. Especially, when I saw the damaged houses from the fire last summer, I felt sorry for them. The people who lived in the Jaegun Village didn’t have any ways to protect their house and had no ability to repair the damage. The only thing they could do was just watching their burning house. And some people died in a fire. It was an accident terribly fatal.
Now, many organizations are giving them the rice and water for helping the Jaegun residents. And the government is giving them the house in low rental fee. But a lot of people are still having in trouble. If we help them little bit, they can find the hope in this situation. For example, we can give them our old clothes, furniture and appliances that we don’t use anymore. If we take a look around, we can find a lot of stuff that can be useful for them. Moreover, we can do volunteer work directly. If we go to the Jaegun Village, we will find a lot of repair works.
Even though they lived in illegal houses for a long time and they don’t want to move other place, they have a right to get minimum means of livelihood.
You look very thoughtful, and I also agree with you. We can help them individually, but I think that most of all they need our government’s protection. I heard that many volunteer helpers are there in these illegal villages for helping them in person. I think that now, more active (positive) support of government is need for them. What can the government do for them who have no ability to fix the damage themselves?
답글삭제I really impressed your presentation because your topic is uncommon. I think that most people probably don't have any concerns of this topic like me. Even though, there are many problems which complicate to solve, Government should solve problems and help to them.
