Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Pohang branch spreads environmental preservation culture with citizens

 

“It’s fun to be able to participate in a meaningful activity that protects the planet and my health with a little effort.”

These are the words of Eun-jing Shin, a member of the Pohang branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group, who participated in a litter-picking activity in a walking path by the children's playground near Jangnyang Neighbourhood Lifelong Learning Center in Pohang City, Republic of Korea.

On the 14th June, about 20 volunteers united in a joint effort to protect the beautiful natural environment. Litter-picking is a simple activity that can be done with a bin bag and some gloves.

Mr. Kim, a resident of Jangnyang neighbourhood, who encountered the volunteer group that day, said, “Thank you for working hard to create a pleasant neighbourhood for the local residents.”

Branch manager Jeong-hyeon Choi said, “We will continue to do our best to serve the local community through continuous street clean-up activities.”

Meanwhile, the 'Green Nature' programme strives to pass on a beautiful environment as a legacy to posterity through wetland conservation activities, environmental clean-ups to protect major facilities and cultural assets, environmental recovery, environmental protection public interest campaigns, and the creation of flower paths in illegal waste dumping areas. This is a regular volunteer activity conducted by Shincheonji Volunteer Group throughout South Korea.
