The Dream Social Cooperative successfully held the 3rd Dream Family Caregiving Awards ceremony and year-end event at the Korean Traditional Culture Center on the 12th.

On this day, they selected and honored parents who have excellently raised children with disabilities, as well as their families, to comfort their hard work, honor the nobility of parents, and show support.

They also recognized and awarded the efforts and achievements of Dream Social Cooperative employees, individuals with developmental disabilities, and their families.

During the first part of the event, they awarded the Dream Family Caregiving Award to 'Im Ye-jeong,' who has been a role model in caregiving despite facing difficult circumstances, and presented a plaque of appreciation and a prize of 5 million won to express gratitude and respect.

The award recipient, Im Ye-jeong, expressed her gratitude and humility, saying, "I feel grateful and embarrassed to receive such a big award, as all mothers do their best to raise their children, and I believe any parent would do the same."

In the second part of the event, there were performances by the Dream Developmental Disability Day Activity Center, including ukulele and dance performances showcasing the skills honed by the center's users throughout the year, creating a touching stage.

This was a meaningful sequence to boost the users' sense of accomplishment and help them stand confidently as members of society. Singer Cho Sung-mo was also specially invited to perform at the congratulatory event.

Choi Sung-won, the representative of Dream Social Cooperative, stated, "Family caregiving is the most fundamental and important pillar of our society, yet its value is often not properly recognized." He added, "Through this 'Dream Family Caregiving Awards' ceremony, we aim to raise social awareness of the silent sacrifices and dedication of family caregivers, expressing deep gratitude and respect for their efforts." He further mentioned, "We will continue activities next year to deliver hope and encouragement to families in need of care."
