[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] When hearts that want to help come together, mental quarantine also proceeds smoothly.

The Dong-Eui University Regional Collaboration Center (Director Yoon Hyun-seo) and Busan Brain Lesion Welfare Center held the ‘2021 Happiness Seed Mental Quarantine Project’ at the Busan Brain Lesion Welfare Center in Geumgok-dong, Buk-gu, Busan, from 10 a.m. on May 29.

This project, conducted as part of the Ministry of Education’s University Innovation Project, was planned to alleviate the isolation of people with brain lesions and support healthy living through talent-sharing activities by clubs related to Dong-Eui University departments (majors).

Twenty students and faculty advisors from Dong-Eui University clubs, including ‘Bong Sarang’ from the Department of Dental Hygiene, ‘Areumdri’ from Clinical Pathology, ‘Light Care’ from Radiology, ‘CPU’ from Computer Software Engineering, and ‘Earth’ from Human and System Design Engineering, along with 10 officials from the Busan Brain Lesion Welfare Center, participated.

They conducted oral care education, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol measurements, thyroid ultrasound examinations, maker-based craft experiences, and smartphone usage education.

Gil Dong-hyun (Creative Software Engineering Department, Year 1), a student who participated in the project, said, “Seeing the joy even in simple experiences like making topiary cleared my mind even more. If I get another chance like this, I won’t miss it and will contribute to society.”

Yoon Hyun-seo, director of the Dong-Eui University Regional Collaboration Center, said, “Unlike the previous mental quarantine project in Gayadong, this project was more meaningful because it was conducted for people with disabilities. We plan to continue the mental quarantine project until the day COVID-19 ends.”

On May 27, the Dong-Eui University Regional Collaboration Center signed an MOU for the Social Security Special Support Zone Project with Buk-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center and Namsanjeong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center.

Dong-Eui University plans to operate health management and various educational programs such as blood pressure and blood sugar management, oral examinations, and non-alcoholic cocktail making for residents of Deokcheon BMC Apartments together with these welfare centers.
