Taking Care of Individual Health and Community Health Simultaneously

The Namhae County Branch of the Korea Senior Citizens Association in Gyeongnam held the launch ceremony of the 'Namhae County Senior Volunteer Group' on the 16th at the auditorium on the 3rd floor of the Senior Welfare Center.

The 'Namhae County Senior Volunteer Group' is composed of eight senior volunteer groups by region (organization) and was formed to encourage more active participation in the local community.

The Namhae County Branch of the Korea Senior Citizens Association in Gyeongnam held the inauguration ceremony for the 'Namhae County Senior Volunteer Group'.

Namhae County is actively supporting the social participation of seniors based on the judgment that, to overcome the aging crisis, it is as important as senior welfare policies to naturally integrate the knowledge and experience of seniors into the local community.

In line with this, the Namhae County Branch of the Korea Senior Citizens Association plans to form its own volunteer groups to carry out essential tasks in the local community one by one.

The eight senior volunteer groups engage in various volunteer activities such as creating and maintaining flower paths monthly, cleaning bus stops, cleaning beaches, operating sharing gardens, cleaning roadsides, donating cultural and artistic talents, and helping with farm work.

Additionally, in December, which marks the end of the year, they are determined to encourage continuous and regular activities by presenting performance reports and outstanding cases of the senior volunteer groups.

Branch President Lee Jae-shin said, “Volunteering is first and foremost good for my own health, and next, it is good for the community’s health, benefiting all of us. I hope that through volunteer group activities, the social participation of senior leaders will expand and more volunteer groups will be formed.”

County Governor Jang Chung-nam said, “I respect and appreciate the formation and activities of the senior volunteer groups for our local community,” adding, “Please take care of your health through volunteering and further beautify our hometown to make Namhae County, an age-friendly city, a more prominent scenic spot.”
