This volunteer program was organized through the collaboration of the Wolya-myeon Office in Hampyeong County, GM (Global Motors), and the dedicated support of Jeonnam Health High School’s Educational Cooperation Department. The students united with a sense of mission as future health care professionals and in the spirit of sharing and co-existing with their local community.

On the day of the event, the nursing students put their expertise to use by conducting basic health monitoring such as checking blood pressure and glucose levels. They also cared for the seniors by providing detailed hand massages, as well as shoulder and foot massages for those experiencing fatigue.

In addition, an art therapy program, where participants decorated eco-bags with colored pencils, was introduced to help stimulate cognitive activity and aid in dementia prevention for the elderly, receiving enthusiastic feedback. After the health management activities, students and seniors enjoyed a recreation session singing and dancing together, filling the senior center with laughter.

One student who participated in the volunteer service shared, “It was deeply meaningful to share the nursing skills we learned at school directly with local seniors. I felt a real sense of fulfillment seeing the seniors smile brightly.”

Principal Kim Mijeong commented, “Thanks to the meaningful partnership with local organizations and companies, the students gained a valuable opportunity to grow into well-rounded individuals with both warmth of character and practical ability. We will continue to offer health nursing experiences that deliver warmth to the community and allow students to develop practical field skills.”
