Around the farming season, the Korea Forest Service(KFS) volunteers to help hectic farmers in the village with which KFS has set up sisterhood relationships.
On May 29, Mr. Suh Seung-jin, Chief of KFS along with KFS’s officials went to SinJeong-ri in Chungbuk Province and did voluntary work, such as mowing and other farming works.
KFS set up the sisterhood relationship with the village, Sinjeong-ri last March and has kept a close neighborhood relationship since then, volunteering twice a year in spring and autumn and supporting the projects of the mountain-village-development.
This year’s local election on 31st of May happens to fall on around the farming season. Consequently, most villages are short-handed. KFS’s purpose of the voluntary work is for giving hands to villages with a lack of hands.
