Marking the 76th anniversary of the country's liberation day in mid-August, Daewoo Engineering & Construction (Daewoo E&C) has been involved in a volunteering campaign to renovate housing for descendants of independence fighters during the 36-year Japanese occupation in the earlier part of the 20th century. The campaign is jointly managed by the company and Habitat Korea.


광복 76주년을 맞아 대우건설이 1900년대 초 일제강점기 36년을 겪은 독립유공자의 후손을 위한 노후 주택 개보수 봉사활동에 나섰다. 이 활동은 대우건설과 한국 해비타트에 의해 공동 운영된다.



Daewoo E&C is planning to renovate six houses of the descendants by next February, while the construction company donated 200 million won ($171,000) to Habitat Korea on August 10 for the housing projects.

대우건설은 내년 2월까지 독립유공자 후손 6세대의 주거환경을 개선할 계획이며, 지난 8월 10일 노후 주택 개보수 활동을 위해 한국 해비타트에 약 2억원(17만1000달러)을 기부했다.



The first of the six housing projects is renovating the house of Chang Seok-ok ― a granddaughter of late independence fighter Chang Il-hwan ― in Cheongju city, which will be completed within four weeks during the month of August.

6세대 중 첫 번째로 실시한 노후 자택 개보수 공사는 청주시 독립유공자 고 장일환 선생의 손녀 장선옥씨의 자택으로 8월 한 달 중 4주 내 완공될 예정이다.



"Hoping for the descendants of independence fighters to enjoy comfortable living conditions, Daewoo E&C vows to proactively participate in various housing improvement campaigns," an official from the construction company said.

대우건설 관계자는 "독립유공자 후손들이 쾌적한 주거환경을 누릴 수 있기를 바라며 다양한 주택 개보수 활동에 적극 참여할 것을 다짐한다"고 말했다.
