Shincheonji Volunteers Honour Fallen Heroes Through Cemetery Cleanup
On 24th June, the Seoul-Gyeonggi Western Association, led by Director Jong-ryeol Kwak, announced that volunteers from its Dongjak, Bucheon, and Gimpo branches had participated in grave maintenance and environmental cleanup activities.
After observing a moment of silence at the Memorial Tower, volunteers cleaned gravestones in Section 17, removed weeds and fallen leaves, replaced damaged floral tributes, collected litter, and tidied surrounding green spaces.
Min-seong Kim, 32, a volunteer from Sosa District in Bucheon, reflected on the experience:
“I joined this volunteer activity to express my gratitude to war veterans. I had only heard stories about the war from older relatives, but visiting the national cemetery in person gave me a chance to reflect on our history and the sacrifices made by those who came before us.”
A representative of the association highlighted its long-term commitment to community service, stating, “We believe volunteering should not be limited to a particular season or occasion, but should be an ongoing effort to work alongside the local community.”
The association plans to continue supporting local communities through environmental cleanup, welfare initiatives, and talent-sharing activities in cooperation with residents.
