- 2019-06-28
On May 18, volunteers from Daejin University visited Gungtteul Farm in Yeongjung-myeon, Pocheon-si and helped farmers thin out overabundant apple orchards. Every year, Daejin University carries out volunteer activities that assist local farmers who are having difficulty securing labor due to population reduction and aging common in rural areas. In particular, fruit thinning requires many workers because it must be mostly done by hand. On the 18th, a total of 64 volunteers, including faculty members and students, participated in the volunteer work of helping the farmers with weed-removal and apple-thinning that benefited thousands of trees.
