Actress Kim, Hyeung-ja and voice actor, Bae, Han-seung have been appointed as patrons of Refrigerator corps from Seoul YWCA. The appointment ceremony , which was held in the Seoul YWCA's auditorium on April 14th, proceeded while the president of Seoul YWCA Lee ,Yean-bae with the members of board of directors and 480 helpers from the Department of Woman Development were participating.


Refrigerator corps is a kind of voluntary service gatherings which belongs to the Department of Woman Development. Since they began to concern the fact that it is not easy for elders who live alone to keep their own refrigerators clean, this corps decided to help those elders as paying them a visit. They had a welcoming ceremony on October 14th, 2010, after then, the number of workers in the corp has kept increasing from 15 to 30 so far. They have worked together with Guro Senior Welfare Center since Guro is the area home alone-elders reside most. each group of two or three workers have paid regular visit to their assigned 14 elders.


"Voluntary Service is too big word compared to what I actually do here. I only do what I can do. " remarked Yoon, Hee-yeong, a member of the corps who had worked even in the penetrating cold weather. like her, most members of the corps have been glad to be a part of this service. Refrigerator corps will keep up with good work now and for ever.
