‘Hope Sharing Volunteer Group’ Carries Out Briquette Distribution Service View original image


[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The volunteer group "Hope Sharing Volunteer Corps," active in Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced that on the 17th, they visited the home of an elderly woman in her 80s living alone in Seobong-dong, Gwangsan-gu, and delivered 300 briquettes.


Wearing yellow vests inscribed with the words "Hope Sharing Volunteer Corps" and gloves on their hands, the members transformed into briquette delivery workers, sweating profusely. Although what they carried was briquettes, the moment truly delivered year-end warmth and kindness.


On this day, the briquette sharing was carried out by eight members together, recommended by member Nam Gidu.


The "Hope Sharing Volunteer Corps" was launched just over two years ago, under the banner of sharing and sincere volunteering.


Since then, the members have been growing into a volunteer group working with the community by practicing activities such as delivering consolation goods to senior centers, disinfecting traditional markets, and sharing briquettes with love.



Jeong Cheochil, head of the Hope Sharing Volunteer Corps, said, "There is an old saying that if your stomach is full and your room is warm, there is nothing to envy. Although it is insufficient, we feel a small sense of fulfillment as if we have solved at least one of those. We plan to continue various activities to practice sharing in the future."
