On
24th November 2019, Newsis News Agency published an article about the work of
Shincheonji Volunteer Group’s 16th blood donation event in Busan, Republic
of Korea (South Korea). This is a translation of that article.
The West Busan branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group, whose
volunteers transcend religion, race and border, held their 16th ‘Blood Donation
of Love’ event inside Busan branch church.
The blood donation event was designed to help children with
leukaemia and address national blood shortages that have resulted from reduced
blood-giving during the winter months.
The event was organised by Shincheonji Volunteer Group’s
West Busan Branch with roughly 400 people donating blood throughout the day.
Three blood banks were provided by the Korean Red Cross’ Busan Blood Centre.
Members of Shincheonji Volunteer Group have participated in
sharing life with the local community by actively participating in this
life-giving movement which those aged 16+ can take part in.
One volunteer, Ms. Ji-yeon Shin (35), who participated in
the blood donation event, submitted 40 blood donor cards, saying, “I donated generously
to join in this good work." Mr. Dongha You, head of Shincheonji Volunteer Group’s
West Busan branch, said, “The ‘Blood Donation of Love’ event was organised in
order to help children suffering from leukaemia. We will continue in our
efforts in creating a brighter world.”
A representative of the Korean Red Cross’ Busan Blood Center
said, “Although blood supplies are low, Shincheonji Volunteer Group, to whom we
are very grateful, continues to steadily participate in its precious blood
donation campaign.”
Meanwhile, Shincheonji Volunteer Group has partnered with 72
national and international volunteer agencies to serve marginalised
communities, improve road networks, implement environmental clean-up campaigns,
cook and deliver homemade lunches, provide beauty services and paint murals.
Shincheonji Volunteer Group puts love for its neighbours into practice through
various cultural and volunteer activities.
