50 members of Shincheonji Volunteer Group Donghae Branch painted a mural on “Home of Peace (nursing home)” in 104 Village, Junggye neighbourhood, Nowon district, Seoul, as part of its 'Wall Story' project.
Shincheonji Volunteer Group was founded by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church of Jesus) in South Korea. Its purpose is to tear down the barriers of conflict within class, gender, religion, and politics, and unite hearts and minds by putting the teachings of heaven into practice for the growth and development of communities everywhere.
'Wall Story', in its 10th year, is one of the three major projects of Shincheonji Volunteer Group, and is a mural painting volunteer activity conducted by 70 branches throughout Korea. It is an urban regeneration project that restores dilapidated murals through drawings and paintings, depicting characteristics specific to local regions and the stories of local residents on murals. The themes and pictures designed on the murals are decorated at the request of the beneficiaries.
In this case in Seoul, the mural painting volunteer project started on 9th June and was finished in a week.
Traditionally, Koreans make wishes for the prosperity of their hometowns and villages in the upcoming year, while looking up at the full moon every Daeboreum (the day of the first full moon of the lunar year). To this end, the volunteers wanted the residents of 104 Village who visit the Home of Peace to unite their hearts and make wishes. With that thought in mind, volunteers painted the mural of the big full moon, jwibullori (traditional Korean game), and ganggangsulae (traditional Korean circle dance) on the murals of the Home of Peace under the theme of “One Heart Given to the Moon”.
Home of Peace is a residential housing facility for the elderly, which has operated entirely on its own for 36 years without government subsidy.
Home of Peace officials said, “Home of Peace is a space for everyone in 104 Village, but it broke our hearts seeing the walls cracked and the colours fading. That is why we requested the services of Shincheonji Volunteer Group to paint the walls.”
Shincheonji Volunteer Group officials said, “Even if the village is under redevelopment and there is only minimal time to visit the Home of Peace, our hope is that the villagers can enjoy a visit to a beautifully decorated Home of Peace.”
A villager, who saw the old walls beautified, said, “The paintings of the moon and the blue colours are beautiful. It had me recall the wishes I made while gazing at the moon on Daeboreum as a child.”
Meanwhile, in addition to 'Wall Story', Shincheonji Volunteer Group Donghae Branch is working hard to create a beautiful and healthy society through other activities, including “Beautiful Seniors”, which serves the ageing community, “Green Nature” for environmental preservation, “Visiting Health Doctor” service for the medically vulnerable, and “More the Better” for the promotion of emotional wellbeing through sharing companion plants.
