The Shincheonji Volunteer Group is quietly spreading warmth across South Korea through small but meaningful acts of service that make daily life a little brighter.

From Seongdong and Gangdong in Seoul to Pohang and Gumi in North Gyeongsang Province, every local branch is carrying out customised volunteer programmes that fit the needs of their own communities - turning the idea of “love your neighbour” into real, everyday action.

On the 30th November, the Pohang branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group launched the "Safe School" campaign at Yeongildae Beach, a popular tourist attraction and the largest beach on Korea's eastern coast, to address the increased traffic volume and risk of accidents around the holiday.

Through the campaign, the Pohang branch helped citizens learn disaster response techniques and promote a culture of self-directed disaster prevention.

The campaign on that day raised awareness among people of all ages, from families to youth and seniors, through programmes that included vehicle inspection and safe driving education and a traffic safety true or false quiz. Volunteers also distributed leaflets and safety kits to citizens and explained traffic safety rules.

One citizen who participated said, “I listened to the traffic safety rules, reflected on my driving habits, and have decided to pay more attention to safe driving in the future.”

Meanwhile, the Pohang Branch has also been actively working with the community to create a safe community that better protects from the damage of natural disasters such as typhoons.
