Sometimes the most meaningful work happens behind the scenes.
For over a decade, Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Chungju branch has been quietly supporting disabled athletes in their community—and it's making a real difference.
A Decade of Dedication
On October 10th, the Chungju Disabled Lawn Bowls Federation honored the volunteer group with a plaque of appreciation. The recognition came after 10 years of consistent partnership—supporting competitions twice a year since 2014.
At this year's National Disabled Lawn Bowls Championships in June, about 60 volunteers served meals for 600+ athletes and families. They also handled venue cleanup and safety management—all the unglamorous work that keeps events running smoothly.
The Real Impact
A volunteer representative shared: "We want to help disabled participants feel more comfortable competing. We'll keep working to improve disability awareness and spread volunteer culture." Disabled athletes face enough barriers already.
Having a dependable team handling logistics means they can focus on what matters—competing and connecting with others. Making a difference doesn't require grand gestures. Sometimes the greatest impact comes from simply showing up, again and again.
