[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Yushin] Keimyung University announced on the 10th that it conducted volunteer activities in four countries that participated in or supported the Korean War on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War. This was to express gratitude and repay Ethiopia, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines, which directly participated in the war or provided supplies.

The volunteer group, consisting of 140 students and faculty members, was divided into four teams of 35 people each and carried out activities such as improving classroom environments, expanding and renovating restrooms, and repairing playgrounds over two weeks from the 25th of last month until recently. They also promoted Korean culture through Taekwondo demonstrations, Samulnori performances, and traditional dance performances.

At Wonderland Elementary School in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, local residents who welcomed the volunteer group filled the playground, according to university officials.

Including this volunteer activity, Keimyung University has dispatched over 3,800 volunteers to 16 countries such as Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Bangladesh over 17 years since 2002.
