Chairperson Ryu Chul Whan has been highlighting the efforts of ACRC to protect and support vulnerable social groups such as self-reliant young people, people suffering from Hansen’s disease and North Korean defectors. ACRC is making efforts to improve the system in the long term to resolve grievances, while actively discovering blind spots of welfare and families in crisis who are in urgent need to quickly support them.

As part of these efforts, the ACRC is pushing for a mentoring project to support self-reliant young people who have ended their protection at child-care facilities and held a “year-end mentoring day” on Dec. 20.

The visit of ACRC was designed to express gratitude and encourage children and the staff members of the facility who care for the children who don’t have families or guardians and help them prepare for self-reliance as a member of society.

Ryu Chul Whan, chairperson of the ACRC, said “I hope that our society can be a place where we can care for the people in need and send them warm words and small sincerity as we start the new year of the blue dragon.”
