Shincheonji Volunteer Group continues to address national blood shortages in South Korea (Suwon)

In a continued effort to address chronic blood shortages in the Republic of Korea (South Korea), 100 members from Shincheonji Volunteer Group’s (SVG) Suwon branch donated blood at an event held on 3rd September 2019. This follows on from SVG's donation of 300 donor cards to the Korea Childhood Leukemia Foundation at a Children’s Cancer Ward on May 5th in Gwangju. At the start of the year, SVG signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with the Korean Red Cross and Daegu-Gyeongbuk Blood Center to donate blood twice a year minimum.

On 3rd September, the head of SVG Suwon, Mr. Jeong-Jae Park, received a certificate of appreciation on behalf of all volunteers from the mayor of Suwon.

SVG belongs to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of The Testimony and has over 200,000 volunteers in 72 branches worldwide serving communities through a range of projects, campaigns and initiatives focused on environmental conservation, blood donation, provision of medical aid, war veterans' support, elderly care and public service. In the first half of 2019, 60,000 volunteers catered to the needs of 80,000 people worldwide.
