Pukyong National University's PKNU Community Service Volunteers Group is a volunteer group made up of university students who practice true love for their neighbors while leading various service activities such as house repairs.

The volunteer group first started home repairing service in 2006, and has been conducting volunteer work every summer vacation, however, due to the spread of Corona 19, they had to postpone their service activities during this summer vacation.

As soon as the so-called 'With Corona (Living with Corona Plan)', which allows a gradual recovery of daily life from the 1st, is implemented, the students who have been waiting to be able to do volunteer service have made a schedule again and started volunteering.

Participating students completed their vaccinations early for safe volunteer activities, and on the day of the activity, they served volunteering service by following quarantine rules such as temperature checks and wearing masks.

In addition to home repair volunteer activities, they also provided daily necessities such as winter blankets, electric pad, and toilet rolls so that the volunteer subject can stay warm this cold winter.

Pukyong students plan to visit a household in need of improvement residential environment in Nam-gu, Busan, and serve house repair activities on coming 13th.

Son Min-Woo in the volunteer group said, "Not only the seniors in the household where we helped the house repairs, but also the neighbors who encouraged us saying 'you guys are doing a great job', brought us snacks, so I could keep working with happiness. I will do my best for the rest of the volunteering service safely." <Pukyong Today>
