The Icheon branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group carried out the 'More the Better' project of hope in commemoration of the relocation of the Icheon Association of Persons with Disabilities on the 30th of March.

More the Better is a volunteer programme that helps volunteers and beneficiaries exchange hope through the donation of companion plants, and furthermore, helps all members of society to become one regardless of age or social status.

After growing the environmental purification plants provided by the volunteer group over about a month, participants will donate them to individuals or groups in need of horticultural therapy or ecological learning with a message of hope.

The Icheon branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group donated a total of 12 companion plants grown by the volunteers to the Icheon Association of Persons with Disabilities so that they could be used towards the emotional wellbeing of the Association members.

An official from the Icheon Branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group said, “We thank the Icheon Association of Persons with Disabilities for coming together as one.”

Meanwhile, Shincheonji Volunteer Group is providing practical help to local communities in South Korea through various programmes and projects, such as the 'Good Donation, Good Consumption' campaign to help small business owners and those who are suffering from COVID-19; 'Visiting Health Doctor' programme which provides free medical services to foreign workers, who are often caught in the medical 'blind spot', the elderly living alone, and the underprivileged; and group blood donations to overcome blood supply shortages.
