Numerous media outlets in South Korea have been reporting on the many activities conducted by Shincheonji Volunteer Group for nationwide community development in the emerging 'post-COVID' era. Recently, on the 7th April, Shincheonji Volunteer Group Wonju Branch held its 'Visiting Health Doctor, Five Senses Tour' experience with members of five organisations for older people in Heongseong County, including the Defoliant Veterans' Association of Korea, Korean War Veterans Association, Military Distinguished Service Association, Vietnam Veterans Association, and Korean Veterans Association for Persons with Disabilities. 25 volunteers from the Wonju branch provided football tuition, a cruise ship experience along the scenic wonders of Danyang Palgyeong, and health therapies including a foot bath.
In particular, during the time of physical activity, with the help of Shincheonji sports experts, the seniors played a heated game of football from basic passes to shooting and taking penalty kicks.
At the dining place prepared in Danyang, the restaurant owner said, “We warmly welcome people of national merit, and we respect the efforts of these young volunteers who are serving them.”
Afterwards, while riding a cruise ship which offers a superb view of Dodamsambong, guests enjoyed taking pictures of the natural landscape, and found relief through an oriental footbath.
Sang-ho Park, secretary general of the Hoengseong Branch of the Korean War Veterans Association, who expressed his impressions of the event, said, “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to volunteers for their great service towards the members of the veterans’ organisations who brought glory to our country. As a young man, I stepped on a landmine while performing military operations and had one leg amputated.”
He said, “I nearly died on 9 critical occasions while serving in the military. For those who sacrificed for the country, I wish to help a lot as long as I am alive. Young people should also know our history correctly and never forget to remember the sacrifices of those who have gone before us.”
He added, “I am deeply grateful to the volunteers who have not forgotten the martyrs and hope that the history of Korea will shine forever.”
Jae-won Shim, the head of Korea Disabled Veterans Association, who attended the Visiting Health Doctor programme for the first time, said, “We cannot express in words how good today has been for us. Thank you so much.”
An official from another veterans’ organisation said, “These days, young people and the government are indifferent to the past and only think about living well now, but we need to think about how our country developed. The treatment of former servicemen and people of national merit in Korea differs greatly from that of other countries.”
Meanwhile, in addition to the medical 'Visiting Health Doctor' programme, Shincheonji Volunteer Group Wonju branch has been carrying out various social service activities including 'Wall Story', an urban regeneration project that breathes life into dilapidated walls and murals.
