The TNC Foundation announced on September 9 that it operated the 'Bapmeokcha' program at the Gochang Happiness Center on September 8.
This event was part of the 'Healers, Heal Us!' initiative, which aims to support social workers who often put their own well-being aside while caring for others. The TNC Foundation's program encourages these dedicated professionals.
In its third year, 'Healers, Heal Us!' will select 20 social workers to receive a free trip to Jeju Island. Among them, one 'Empathy King' will be chosen to receive a food truck from the foundation's 'Bapmeokcha' initiative at their workplace.
This year's Empathy King is Hwang Young-cheon, a social worker at the Gochang Happiness Center. On September 8, the TNC Foundation brought the Bapmeokcha food truck to the center, providing a special day for the children. In total, 150 children from the Gochang Happiness Center and nearby facilities were invited to enjoy snacks from the food truck.
Hwang Young-cheon expressed his feelings about being named Empathy King, stating, "I was very happy to hear the news, especially knowing that I could offer our children a new experience. Seeing the joy on their faces made me feel that I made the right choice in this profession."
Meanwhile, the TNC Foundation, as a public interest foundation, promotes the development of 'empathy talents' through scholarship, education, welfare, and empathy projects.
