[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] ‘Bitdamneun Saramdeul,’ a photography club in the Sancheong area of Gyeongnam, carried out a longevity photo shooting volunteer activity for elderly residents in the Sindeung-myeon area.

On the 8th, members of ‘Bitdamsa’ took longevity photos of 50 elderly people aged 75 and older at the Sindeung-myeon Welfare Center.

‘Bitdamsa,’ with support from the Sindeung-myeon Residents’ Autonomy Committee, the Sindeung-myeon Youth Association, and the Sindeung-myeon Volunteer Crime Prevention Unit, produced the photos in frames and delivered them.

This volunteer activity was conducted by photographing 10 people per hour to comply with social distancing measures.

They have been volunteering to take longevity photos for local elderly residents for over 10 years. In recent years, due to low demand, the volunteer work was temporarily paused but has recently resumed as the number of applicants increased.

Seok Do-sang, president of Bitdamsa, said, “I am glad to be able to offer even a small talent to help the local elderly. We plan to expand the longevity photo shooting volunteer service by surveying demand in other areas such as Sinan-myeon.”
