Kyungsung University, Rural Volunteer Activities in Namhae Village

Kyungsung University conducted a volunteer activity to help with farm work by visiting 17 villages in the Namhae-gun area of Gyeongnam for 3 nights and 4 days from the 28th to the 31st of last month.

About 420 Kyungsung University students who participated in the rural volunteer work assisted with harvesting garlic, a specialty product of Namhae-gun, and village environmental cleanup activities. They also engaged in exchange activities with village residents, such as giving massages to the elderly and producing promotional materials for the villages.

This rural volunteer activity was carried out in collaboration with the Kyungsung University Student Council, the Busan Headquarters of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and the Agricultural Technology Department of Namhae-gun.

An official from the Agricultural Technology Department of Namhae-gun said, “During a time of labor shortage, the participation of university students has been helpful to the village elders and has brought vitality to the villages. We are grateful to the students.”

The students who participated in the rural volunteer work said, “Although we were inexperienced in farming since it was our first time, it was a good opportunity to sweat, work together, and realize the value of volunteer work aimed at contributing to the local community.”
