South Korea is considered a "super-aged society", as nearly 25% of its population is over 65. There are many elderly people who live alone.

The 'Beautiful Seniors' project of Shincheonji Volunteer Group is designed to support a healthy and happy retirement for senior citizens under the slogan ‘One Beautiful Day is Beautiful Enough.’ The Shincheonji Volunteer Group typically visits senior citizens living alone or in nursing homes.

Recently, the Wonju Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group carried out a sock-making volunteer activity. It is an activity that is easy for older people to do.

Because it is an activity that is done with your hands, it helps develop the minds of children and older adults and can prevent dementia.

Sock-making is an upcycling craft that uses endless round rubber bands (sock-making bands) to create various resources. It is popular because it allows you to create practical items that protect the environment.

Meanwhile, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group is active in 77 branches in South Korea and has 350,000 members in 12 regions including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Gangwon, Daejeon, Busan, Chungcheong, Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Jeju.

With love and peace as its basic spirit, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group carries out global social contribution projects in various fields, including the environment, veterans affairs, disabled sector, public interest and culture, transcending religion, race and national borders.
