“I came out to exercise and got an unexpected haircut, so it felt like a special day.”
This was said by a senior citizen who received hair and beauty treatment from the Namdong Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group at Guwol Sports Neighbourhood Park in Incheon City on the 21st.
The Southeast Branch, together with four professional volunteers, provided hair and beauty services to about 30 senior citizens enjoying exercise and leisure activities at Guwol Sports Neighbourhood Park as part of the 'Beautiful Seniors' programme.
In an ageing society, the 'Beautiful Seniors' programme supports a healthy and happy retirement under the slogan ‘One beautiful day is beautiful enough.’ The programme is a regular volunteer activity of Shincheonji Volunteer Group conducted nationwide.
Volunteers also provided warm tea to the 80 or so residents who visited the park.
An official from the Namdong branch who planned the hair and beauty service at Guwol Sports Neighborhood Park said, “This is the first time we are doing it in an open space, but we planned it knowing that many seniors visit this place,” and added, “We are glad that we could help.”
