The Shincheonji Volunteer Group is working proactively on an international scale towards achieving a drug-free society, by empowering young people with knowledge and warning them about the dangers of drug and substance abuse.
Most recently, the Eastern Busan Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group conducted an anti-drug awareness campaign at the Busan International Marathon in South Korea on the 16th November. Nearly 8000 citizens participated in the campaign.
The team engaged citizens with O/X quizzes, educational materials, and energy bars, raising awareness about hidden slang and rising drug issues among youth.
Many participants expressed strong support, saying campaigns like, “The situation is so serious that even middle school students are being exposed to drug issues,” and added, “This kind of campaign is absolutely necessary.”
An official from the Eastern Busan Branch stated, “The drug problem is not a problem for a specific class, but a task that the entire community must solve together,” and expressed the group's plans to continue expanding citizen-participation programmes to help build a safer, healthier community.
Meanwhile, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group, established by Shincheonji Church of Jesus in the Republic of Korea, engages in global community outreach through various initiatives including blood drives, disaster response, education programmes, and environmental clean-ups.
