Samgyetang and Watermelon Gifted to Veterans... Shincheonji Volunteer Group Jinhae Branch Wishes Good Health to Vietnam War Veterans

The Jinhae Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group (Branch Director: Lim Jeonghwan) visited the Changwon City Jinhae-gu Vietnam War Veterans Association Center on August 8, where they served samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) and watermelon to the veterans, helping them beat the summer heat.

This volunteer activity was organized to check on the health and well-being of the veterans who dedicated themselves to the country, and to comfort their minds and bodies, which have been exhausted by the intense heat. The Jinhae Branch carefully prepared nutritious samgyetang and refreshing watermelon. After the meal, they held laughter exercises and a nonsense quiz, providing the seniors with an opportunity to laugh and enjoy themselves together.

One veteran expressed his gratitude, saying, "With the recent heatwave, I was already thinking about taking better care of my health, and I am thankful that the Jinhae Branch served us samgyetang."

Another member said, "It is heartwarming to be remembered and treated well for having participated in such a terrible war for our country," adding, "I want to reach out to them, who have not forgotten us when we truly needed help."

A representative of the Jinhae Branch stated, "We served the veterans with sincerity, out of gratitude for their dedication and sacrifice in defending the country," and added, "If the seniors ever need help, we will always come to volunteer."

Since 2023, the Jinhae Branch has maintained a relationship with the Vietnam War Veterans Association, continuing various activities such as providing meals, taking longevity photos, supporting street photo exhibitions, and conducting peace-support signature campaigns. In March of this year, they offered a yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) meal service, and in July, they organized a longevity photo shoot, practicing a culture of sharing in collaboration with the local community.
