[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gyeongnam National University announced on the 5th that it held a 'Community Service Group Appointment Ceremony' with the Gyeongsangnam-do Social Welfare Council at the Gyeongnam Social Welfare Center Small Auditorium.

The event was attended by about 20 people, including Professor Ji Young-joo of the Gyeongnam National University Department of Nursing, Park Sung-wook, president of the Gyeongsangnam-do Social Welfare Council, Secretary General Gam Hye-young, and members of the Donghaeng club of the Gyeongnam National University Department of Nursing.

The Gyeongnam Social Welfare Council appointed the Gyeongnam National University Department of Nursing volunteer club 'Donghaeng' as a community service group to carry out more efficient and effective non-face-to-face volunteer activities at a time when most volunteer activities were temporarily suspended due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The community service group provides volunteer activities tailored to social welfare facilities, institutions, and organizations in the local community, utilizing the professional talents possessed by the club.

The Gyeongnam National University Department of Nursing volunteer club 'Donghaeng,' appointed as the community service group this time, has long donated their talents under the guidance of Professor Ji Young-joo by visiting local senior centers to check basic health conditions such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol for the elderly and providing companionship.

The Gyeongnam National University Department of Nursing plans to spread the local volunteer culture with various ideas, such as directly purchasing and producing COVID-19 prevention hand sanitizer materials and delivering them to local seniors in an untact (contactless) manner.
