Amid the difficulty from the spread of COVID-19, a great number of students participated this year’s volunteer activity. Also, Shinhan Bank of Konkuk University branch joined in sharing compassion for local residents by donating 5 million won.<br /><br /><img width="671" height="447" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11802454" /><br /><img width="666" height="375" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11801158" /><br />KUmbrella, a community volunteer group of Konkuk University, is a compund of KU and Umbrella.

The participating students wore disposable plastic gloves, semi-coated gloves, vests, apron, and tosses, and delivered briquettes themselves up and down the steep slopes, following the COVID-19 quarantine guidance of mask wearing and social distancing.</span><br /><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">KUmbrella has annually served disaster relief volunteer or community service as well as regular overseas volunteer activity during the vacation. Jaeyoung Lee (freshman, Department of English Language & Literature) said, “Although the volunteer service is daunted due to the spread of COVID-19, it was fortunate for us to serve briquettes for the neighbors in need this year,” adding, “The briquettes were heavier than I thought, however, it was such a meaningful opportunity to make a contribution to build a warm society.”<br /><br /><br /><img width="661" height="497" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11801153" /><br /><img width="663" height="349" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11801154" /><br /><img width="667" height="513" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11801155" /><br /><img width="674" height="569" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11802458" /><br /><img width="660" height="340" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11802455" /><br /><img width="666" height="444" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11802456" /><br /><img width="662" height="373" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11802457" /><br /><img width="664" height="374" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11801157" /></span></p>
