The Social Service Group of Yeungjin College in Daegu (President Choi Jaeyoung) carried out a kimchi sharing volunteer activity to help local neighbors during the winter season.

On the 1st, the Yeungjin College Social Service Group gathered at Daebul Senior Welfare Center, where 30 participants-including students, faculty, and international students-prepared kimchi. They delivered 5 kilograms of kimchi per household to 100 households of residents in small rooms and elderly people living alone in the Sangyeok-dong and Bokhyeon-dong areas of Buk-gu, Daegu.

Lee Heemin, a second-year student in the Department of Social Welfare who participated in the kimchi-making event, said, "I was worried about whether I could make kimchi for the first time in my life, but I felt a sense of fulfillment thinking about the elderly who would be happy to eat the kimchi I made."

Pinar Dide, an international student from T?rkiye at the Korean Language Education Center, also said, "Participating in the kimchi-making volunteer activity has greatly helped me understand Korean culture and adapt to Korean society."

Cha Bohyun, head of the Social Service Group and professor in the Department of Social Welfare, stated, "For sustainable community contribution, we conduct the 'Save the Geumho River Environmental Protection Campaign' once each in the first and second half of the year, as well as a single-use item recycling campaign. In addition, we continue a variety of volunteer activities, such as hematopoietic stem cell donation and blood donation through RCY activities, and support for welfare facilities for the elderly, people with disabilities, and children." He added, "We will continue our volunteer group activities to grow together with the local community and share warm love with neighbors in need."

Yeungjin College established the first social service group among all junior colleges nationwide in 1997, and has strengthened character education by recognizing social service as academic credit. This system has created a virtuous cycle that not only fosters students' civic consciousness but also leads to a high employment rate.
