Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Icheon Branch conducts extensive recovery effort in flooded Nonsan region

 

Heavy rain has battered central and southern Korea in recent days. The highest cumulative rainfall was in Nonsan City, South Chungcheong Province with nearly 400 mm in total.

Upon the request of the Yeoju Volunteer Centre, the Icheon branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group carried out restoration work at the site of heavy rain damage on the 2nd August.

65 volunteers from the Icheon branch and the Yeoju Volunteer Centre visited a farm and cleaned up the flooded crops in six villages and removed the plastic from the ground, amid the scorching heat that surpassed 30 degrees Celsius.

A farmer who suffered flood damage said, “We were in dire need of a helping hand to deal with the crops that were destroyed by the flood, and the volunteers’ help greatly eased our burden.”

An official from the Icheon branch said, “We hope this flood recovery effort will help farmers quickly return to their daily lives.”
