Shincheonji Volunteer Group Delivers Homemade Kimchi to 20 Families of the Korean War Veterans' Association in Gunsan, Korea
In line with government regulations, Shincheonji Volunteer Group (SVG), which is the volunteer wing of Shincheonji Church of Jesus (Shincheonji Church), has continued to serve communities throughout the Covid-19 pandemic in South Korea.
Most recently, on 18th November 2021, Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gunsan delivered 10kg of carefully prepared homemade kimchi, that used selectively chosen pickled cabbage tossed with seasoning the day before, to 20 families of the Korean War Veterans' Association.
Ja-eun Kim, who participated in the kimchi-making process, said, "I'm always grateful that we can be here because of the sacrifice of war veterans who dedicated their lives to this country. I wish them a truly wonderful winter.”
A member of the Korean War Veterans' Association, who received their gift with thanksgiving, said, "I can enjoy my winter meals year-on-year thanks to the kimchi delivered by Shincheonji Volunteers."
Despite the challenges of COVID-19, SVG Gunsan has been carrying out various non-face-to-face volunteer activities, including visiting the 6.25 Korean War Memorial, hosting 'peace-giving' events in honour of the country, and delivering a drawing of Simu to Unjusa Temple.
SVG has been active in Korea throughout the pandemic. Since September 2020, SVG Eastern Seoul has been carrying out weekly COVID-19 prevention measures at 77 shopping centres to support small businesses most affected by COVID-19. Moreover, SVG Seoul-Gyeonggi has been supporting small business owners struggling to keep their businesses afloat and lacking finances to procure professional sanitisation and disinfection cleaning services, by providing consistent twice-weekly cleaning services. In total, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, 212 SVG volunteers in 68 locations have carried out Covid prevention measures over a total of 65 days.
In other Shincheonji-related news, 3741 congregants of Shincheonji Daegu Church, who had contracted Covid-19 and recovered, donated their blood plasma over three rounds in an effort to help develop treatment for COVID-19. Of this figure, 1561 donors donated their blood plasma more than twice. Mr. Jun-wook Kwon, Deputy Head of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA), expressed his gratitude to donors in person in November 2020, saying, "The blood plasma donation by believers of Shincheonji Church, who have now recovered from COVID-19, will make an indelible contribution to overcoming this pandemic and, eventually, will eradicate it. We hope that the voluntary and active example set by Shincheonji Church members today will serve as an example to all citizens". Earlier this year, the KDCA confirmed that it is expected to secure blood plasma treatment by the end of 2021; a step that could potentially alleviate the suffering of many Covid sufferers in Korea and beyond.
Shincheonji Volunteer Group will continue to put love for its neighbours and marginalised communities into practice through various cultural and voluntary activities, having partnered with 72 national and international volunteer agencies for initiatives that include improvements of the road network, implementation of environmental clean-up campaigns, delivery of homemade lunches, and provision of beauty services and mural painting.
