Graduate Go Joon-soo (29, male, Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu), who participated in the
kimchi-making volunteer work, shared his thoughts: “It was especially meaningful to participate in the kimjang with the evangelist who taught us the Word for a year. I feel proud that the gratitude and positive changes I received through the Word led to this service.”
Another graduate, Park Hye-in (48, female, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi Province), said, “This was my first volunteer work beyond blood donation, but being with fellow graduates gave me courage.” She continued, “After learning the Word, I began wondering ‘how can I practice love and peace?’ and today feels like the first step toward that.”
The 250 heads of kimchi prepared that day were delivered to ▲ the Nowon District Veterans Association in Seoul ▲ the Nowon Branch of the Seoul Chapter of the Republic of Korea Korean War Veterans Association. The delivery ceremony was attended by the president and secretary-general of the Veterans Association and the president and vice president of the Nowon Branch of the Korean War Veterans Association, who expressed their gratitude.
