Shincheonji Volunteer Group brings vitality to Junggye neighbourhood, Seoul, through 'Wall Story'

by - 09:12

 

Numerous media outlets in South Korea have been reporting on the many activities conducted by Shincheonji Volunteer Group for nationwide community development, particularly during the emerging 'post-COVID' era. Most recently, from 7th - 15th June, Shincheonji Volunteer Group Seoul East Branch (Director Young-joo Yoo), as part of the local community development and urban regeneration programme in 104 Junggye neighbourhood, Nowon district, Seoul, volunteered to repair worn-out walls and redecorate them with murals.

'Wall Story' is one of the three major projects of Shincheonji Volunteer Group, and is a mural painting volunteer activity conducted by 70 branches across Korea. This urban regeneration project restores dilapidated murals through drawings and paintings, depicting characteristics specific to local regions and the stories of local residents on murals. The themes and pictures designed on the murals are decorated at the request of the beneficiaries.

In this case, about 10 enthusiastic volunteers participated daily to create a bright village by painting 'Thunderbolt in Bloom', 'Let's Go to the Sea', and 'National Treasure Mural Painting' for local residents and to bring joy.

Local owner Sun-soon Baek (female, 67 years old) said, “Our Peace House looks beautiful. Thank you for helping break down the barriers of the heart and designing a new, fresh mural in this messy alley.” Chang-hoon Song, director of Junggye Community Centre, said, “Seeing the local residents' positive response to the bright and beautiful mural, I'd say the whole of Junggye neighbourhood has become brighter. It's wonderful. Thank you to the volunteers who painted the murals in this summer heat.”

Shincheonji Volunteer Group's 'Wall Story' project is in its 10th year, and under the theme of 'One', breaks down the barriers of societal conflict within class, gender, religion, and politics, and unites minds for community development.
