[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] “Blood donation is love. Love gains strength especially in difficult times.”

On March 16 and 17, Dongmyung University held a life-sharing ‘Love Blood Donation’ campaign on campus in collaboration with the Busan Blood Center of the Korean Red Cross (Director Kwon Yong-gyu).

Over the two days, more than 130 Dongmyung University students and faculty members took time to reflect on the preciousness of life and the spirit of service through blood donation.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, about 30 people participated daily in this campaign. The school explained that the number of blood donors was more than twice the usual.

The Dongmyung Social Service Group also emphasized the importance of blood donation while checking the health of new students.

Kim Jeong-ho, a student in the Department of Tourism Management (3rd year), who participated in the blood donation, said, “I felt proud to contribute even a little to securing the insufficient blood supply,” adding, “Receiving gifts such as cultural gift certificates, toiletries, and snacks was also a small joy.”

Kim Sang-beom, Executive Chairman of the Student Council (Department of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering, 4th year), said, “I hope this blood donation campaign helps the blood supply even a little.”

Recently, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, online classes for students, and layoffs in companies caused by the economic downturn, blood donation participation has sharply declined, causing difficulties in blood supply. In response, university students have stepped up.
