Second Round of Support for the Gyeongbuk Wildfire Victims
On May 8th, JTS delivered relief supplies to disaster victims affected by the massive wildfire that occurred in the northern Gyeongbuk region. Shortly after the wildfire in late March, JTS had already provided emergency aid including soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, underwear, socks, and dust masks. This time, we additionally supplied 2,877 food packages containing seven types of seasonings to five cities, counties, and districts in the Gyeongbuk area. In particular, there was an urgent request for pillows in the Andong area, so alongside the seasoning sets, we also prepared and delivered 1,000 pillows.

Stay Strong, Myanmar!
In March, when a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, JTS formed an emergency rescue team to carry out relief activities on the ground. We provided 99 tents and waterproof fabric sufficient for 350 households to help set up temporary shelters, along with food packages containing rice, ramen, cooking oil, and more. Additionally, we installed reusable water purifiers to enable residents to access safe drinking water.
