올해 수고한 의료진에게 쏟아지는 감사편지 릴레이<br /><br />To thank frontline healthcare workers for their sacrifices this year, children and senior citizens have been sending them specially-made care packages.<br />Our Kim Yeon-seung has the story.<br />The tireless work of healthcare workers has helped many people get through 2020.<br />And some people are ending the year by showing their gratitude to the nation's doctors and nurses.<br />"When I saw the news of our healthcare workers, I saw that they were doing the best they can... so I came up with an idea to send them care packages made by our senior citizen workers.<br />The center sent a total of 650 care packages to Incheon Medical center and 12 other healthcare centers in Incheon city.<br />The packages were put together with care and consideration and were full to the brim with products made by senior workers, including natural soaps, cookies, and coffee.<br />"In the care package, there are a lot of cookies and food. I heard that the medical team really enjoyed those. And they are all handmade by grandmothers and grandfathers so there aren't any artificial sweeteners added."<br />These children are a few of the 800 students who participated in the 'Thank You Again for Today' campaign run by Daegu Association of Social Welfare Centers.<br />They sent letters, hand mirrors, masks, and badges all made and decorated by young students in the Daegu Dong-gu area.<br />"I think the medical workers will really miss their families when they can't be together because of COVID-19. I miss my family even when I'm away for just three or four days."<br />"I saw in a documentary that the medical workers have a tough time dealing with the sweat and heat under the protective suits. But despite all that difficulty, they still take care of patients so I wrote my thank you letter thinking that I was writing to our nation's heroes."<br />From children to senior citizens, people across the nation are sending their thanks to the frontline healthcare workers.<br />Kim Yeon-seung, Arirang News<br />
