[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] "Blood donation is the easiest volunteer activity that anyone can do."

This is the statement of Kang Jeonghwan, a public official affiliated with the Tongyeong Branch of Changwon District Court in Gyeongnam, who has completed 200 blood donations.

Kang started donating blood in 2008 and reached 200 donations this year.

Even living in Tongyeong, where there is no Blood Donation Center, he traveled between Jinju and Changwon without stopping his blood sharing.

Worried about possibly not being able to save lives, he managed his health by adjusting his diet and exercising regularly.

On the 7th, the Gyeongnam Blood Center awarded Kang the Honorary Grand Medal of Blood Donation Merit from the Korean Red Cross.

Kang said, "I thought blood donation was the greatest service I could do in my current position," and added, "True volunteering is lending a hand when the local community needs help."
