In celebration of the 62nd Teacher's Day, teachers and Red Cross Youth (RCY) members are conducting a teacher-student joint bread-sharing volunteer activity.

The Seoul Metropolitan Chapter of the Korean Red Cross (President Kwon Youngkyu) announced on May 14 that throughout the month of May, it will run the "Expressing Respect for Teachers, Practicing Love for Students" campaign, in which about 100 RCY members from 15 schools in Seoul and their teachers participate together.

Teachers and students plan to gather at the Seoul branch's volunteer sharing center to bake and package over 2,000 pieces of bread, including cheese onion bread, apricot cranberry muffins, sausage bread, and cornbread, which will be delivered to local children's centers and families supported by the Red Cross Hope Windmill program. After completing the bread-making volunteer activity, the students presented carnations to their teachers.

An RCY member from Samseon Middle School said, "It was fun and enjoyable to make nutritious snack bread for our neighbors together with friends and teachers for the first time," and added, "I also gave a carnation to my teacher today, and learning that Teacher's Day originated from RCY made me even prouder."

Hwang Jungwon, a teacher at Changmun Girls' Middle School, said, "Today was even more meaningful because we shared it together through volunteering," and added, "I am always grateful for the hard work of many teachers and students, and I want to share my abundant love with them."

Teacher's Day originated when RCY members visited teachers who were ill or retired, and has continued to this day after May 15, the birthday of King Sejong, was designated as "Teacher's Day."
