Hansung University marks the 20th year of its “Coal Briquette of Love Sharing” initiative, delivering 1,200 briquettes to six vulnerable households

[Financial News] Hansung University said on the 9th that it had delivered 1,200 coal briquettes on the 7th to six vulnerable households struggling to heat their homes during winter in and around Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul. The “Coal Briquette of Love Sharing” volunteer initiative, launched in 2007, is now in its 20th year.
About 40 people affiliated with the Hansung University Faculty Volunteer Association, the ESG Center’s Social Volunteer Corps, the overseas volunteer group (HSGV), and Seongsanhoe, an alumni association of Hanyang University’s Department of Industrial Engineering, took part in the volunteer activity.
Hanyang University’s Seongsanhoe sponsored 1.2 million won, the cost of purchasing 1,200 coal briquettes. The volunteers visited six vulnerable households in Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu, that use coal briquettes and delivered 200 to each household themselves.
Na Yu-jin, head of the Hansung University ESG Center’s Social Volunteer Corps, said, “Ahead of the cold winter, we were able to deliver briquettes directly to our neighbors and reflect on the meaning of sharing,” adding, “I would like to continue actively participating in volunteer work for neighbors in need.”
Lee Jae-deuk, a professor emeritus at Hansung University, said, “Over the past 20 years, we have continued the briquette-sharing initiative thanks to the voluntary participation of faculty and staff, students, and alumni,” adding, “We will continue various volunteer activities that the local community needs.”
In addition to sharing coal briquettes, Hansung University carries out social contribution activities such as making and sharing kimchi and delivering lunch boxes to seniors living alone. It also supports student participation in volunteer work by working with local volunteer organizations and linking activities to the “Community Service” course.
