Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Sokcho Branch given 'Best Volunteer Group Award'
As a result of the Sokcho branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group's exemplary and consistent volunteer work, they received the Best Volunteer Group Award from the head of Sokcho City Volunteer Centre on the 22nd August in the Republic of Korea.
The Award is given to organisations and individuals who have permeated warmth in the Sokcho area throughout the year and is open to 204 volunteer groups.
Especially in the cold winter, the volunteer group delivered coal briquettes to low-income households, and in cooperation with the Sokcho City Sports Association for the Disabled, they carried out meal service activities.
In addition, in April, about 100 members gathered at Sokcho Beach and toiled in the heat while carrying out an environmental clean-up activity to address the issue of marine waste in an area frequented by a high number of tourists every year due to its natural landscape of mountains, sea, and lakes.
Moreover, in response to a request by the Gyodong Community Centre, the volunteer group also carried out house clearance activities, particularly for older residents living alone who have limited mobility.
The volunteer group's branch manager said, “We will continue to work hard and serve willingly to become a needed volunteer organisation for civil society.”
