With the cooperation of NH Nonghyup Bank Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters, farms in urgent need of help were selected for this volunteer activity. A total of 28 participants, including 23 GNU volunteer students and 5 faculty and staff members, assisted with strawberry soil work.

A Gyeongsang National University official stated, “As the main farming season begins, we conducted volunteer activities in rural areas facing difficulties due to aging and labor shortages to boost farmers’ morale and enhance the university’s image as a community partner.”

Meanwhile, the Student Affairs Office at Gyeongsang National University has been continuously carrying out rural labor support volunteer activities annually since 2010, centered on the GNU Student Volunteer Group.
