KU Social Service Corps Lends Help And Hope For Third Year

A Korea University social service group called KU Social Service Corps earlier this month made special deliveries of coal briquettes, which are used to heat homes, and other life necessities to about 100 families and individuals in the Bupyeong area.

Students in the KU Social Service Corps joined together with KU Alumni of Incheon Economies, teaching staffs and KU President Ki-Su Lee to deliver about 3,600 pieces of briquettes, 10 kg of rice, 200 boxes of instant noodles, 100 packs of detergent, 100 sheets of calendars and other items to low-income and elderly individuals, according to a university news article.

Korea University is one of the largest, most selective and historic universities in Korea. For North American university students who want to study abroad in Asia, KU offers a variety of courses in all professional fields, with more than 40% taught in English.

“I am very happy to see that our small devotion and true heart was felt big to the receivers,” said student Seung-Jin Lee, a junior political science and international relations major at KU.

Since its inception in December 2007, the KU Social Service Corps has delivered briquettes every winter for three years for a total of 30,000 pieces delivered.
