"Better Than My Own Children": Shincheonji Volunteers Bring Smiles to Seniors in Masan

A Heartfelt Celebration for Family Month

May is Family Month in Korea, a time to honor parents and elders. To ensure no senior feels lonely, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Masan Branch hosted a special event titled "Baekse Manse: Connecting Hearts Through Filial Piety." The event was a vibrant "Hyo (Filial Piety) Festival" designed to bring health, joy, and a sense of family to 36 local seniors.

Health First: Dementia Prevention & Medical Check-ups

Understanding that health is the greatest gift for the elderly, the Masan branch organized a professional health seminar.

  • Dementia Awareness: Experts provided practical tips on preventing dementia, a growing concern in aging societies.

  • Medical Support: A professional medical team accompanied the volunteers to conduct basic health screenings, ensuring every attendee received personalized attention regarding their physical well-being.

Joy and Celebration: Carnations and Concerts

The festival was filled with the sights and sounds of celebration.

  • A Symbol of Love: Volunteers personally pinned carnations on the seniors’ chests—a traditional Korean gesture of gratitude. One senior, Lee Seok-soon, moved many by saying, "Even my busy children couldn't do this for me. Having these volunteers pin a carnation on me makes me so happy."

  • Laughter Through Music: Local singers performed upbeat songs, turning the venue into a joyful concert hall where seniors could dance and laugh together.



Sharing a Nutritious Meal

No celebration is complete without food. The volunteers prepared nutritious lunch boxes and health-focused gifts for each participant. This gesture aimed to fill not only their stomachs but also their hearts, ensuring that everyone felt the warmth of community "Jeong" (affection).

Commitment to the Community

The Masan branch remains dedicated to coexisting with the local community. By reaching out to seniors in "blind spots" who might otherwise spend the holidays alone, Shincheonji volunteers continue to prove that consistent, sincere action is the key to a healthier, happier society.
