On the 20th, the haircut and house repair volunteer work was carried out by about 10 Oikos members who participated either directly or through sponsorship amid falling raindrops. From 1 PM for four hours, they improved the living environment of low-income households in Sanho-dong by replacing flooring in rooms and kitchens, repairing bathroom ceilings, replacing electrical wires and switches, and wallpapering kitchen walls.

The recipient of the help said, “The house I live in had become old and frequent breakdowns caused great inconvenience in daily life, but I never dared to repair it and just lived like that. I am very happy to receive house repair help today and sincerely thank the Oikos Volunteer Society.”

Chairman Lee Jin-seo said, “Today was a rewarding time as we were able to extend a helping hand to families in need, and I thank the members who participated in the volunteer activities. We want to continue playing the role of a light that brightens the darkness, even if only a little, through ongoing volunteer work.”

Meanwhile, the Oikos Volunteer Society of Munchang Church had suspended volunteer activities for several years due to COVID-19 but has been carrying out house repair volunteer activities since January this year, conducting inclusive welfare activities that accompany and support neighbors in need in the local community.
