Collaboration Sharing Activity Between Cheongam University Department of Social Welfare and Areumdawoon Store

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Department of Social Welfare at Cheongam University (Acting President Oh Mi-seong) announced on the 17th that it held a sharing event together with Beautiful Store (Co-Representative Park So-jung, Jeonnam Headquarters), a non-profit public interest foundation practicing sharing and circulation, and the Suncheon Yeonhyang branch.

Beautiful Store stated, “Until now, we have conducted Beautiful Sharing Schools with elementary, middle, and high schools, but this is the first time we have held an event with a university,” adding, “Thanks to this, the wave of sharing is very strong and the temperature of sharing seems to have risen significantly,” expressing their gratitude.

Kim Hyun-na, head of the Department of Social Welfare at Cheongam University, said, “This Beautiful Day with the Department of Social Welfare was an excellent opportunity for students who had lost chances to volunteer due to COVID-19 restrictions, and we want to make this sharing event a tradition of the department and continue it steadily.”

For a long time, students organized their homes to donate items, sorted the donated goods, and created vlogs to promote the event.

Also, to boost the atmosphere of the sharing event on the day, students prepared a handbell performance, and those who baked bungeoppang from early morning for purchasing customers held the sharing event like a festival.

The proceeds from the sharing event operations will be delivered in the form of sharing bundles to single elderly people, grandparent-grandchild families, and families in COVID-19 crisis through recommended social welfare institutions.

Park So-jung, Co-Representative of Beautiful Store Jeonnam Headquarters, said, “Even if machines dominate us, sharing is something only humans can do. The students of the Department of Social Welfare at Cheongam University, who practiced reuse and sharing for the Earth we borrow for future generations, truly deserve applause.”

Meanwhile, Cheongam University is practicing volunteering and sharing through projects such as the Joint Volunteer Club and Happiness Camp under the College Innovation Support Project. This year, it was selected as a university for general financial support in the university basic competency diagnosis, and it is expected to provide more programs and sharing opportunities to students through national financial support projects over the next three years (2022?2024).
