The Hongcheon Mugunghwa Lions Club, led by president Oh Seong-ryong, and under the International Lions Clubs Association, and the Cavite Asmepps Lions Club, with president Dexter Midas Deferia, in the Philippines conducted a joint briquette sharing volunteer activity in Bukbang-myeon, Hongcheon-gun on June 15, practicing the warm love of neighbors.
This volunteer work was carried out with the cooperation of the corporation “Neighbor”, led by president Park Hak-cheon.
Members of both clubs delivered 500 briquettes to a vulnerable household, amid the sweltering heat.
President Oh Seong-ryong of the Hongcheon Mugunghwa Lions Club said: “It was meaningful to be able to share warmth with the local community through international cooperation. We will continue to lead the way in volunteer work with the local community.”
Deferia, on the other hand, said: “Today, when we practiced sharing together across borders, it was very moving. Based on the friendship between the two clubs, I would like to continue our cooperation and exchange.”
It was a precious moment to deliver hope to neighbors, who need continuous help regardless of the season, and to reaffirm the value of international solidarity. | NWI
