Sahmyook University (President Il-mok Kim) signed multilateral MOUs with local governments, universities, social welfare facilities, civic groups, and NGOs for the successful implementation of the mid-to-long-term overseas volunteer project \u2018Change the World\u2019 in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
The signing ceremony was held at Jang Geun-cheong Hall of Sahmyook University\u2019s International Education Center on May 5th was attended by Sahmyook University President Il-mok Kim, Bangladesh Kaliakoir City Mayor Mazibur Rahman, Bangladesh Adventist Seminary and College (BASC) University President Yoon-kwon Park, Mahmud Adarsh Handicapped School Principal Shamsunnahar Kobir, Kaliakoir Disabled People\u2019s Organization Chairman Jasim Uddin, Global Support Circle (GSC) Director Kyung-chul Jeon, and representatives of six organizations attended and signed the agreement.<\/p>\n
According to the agreement, Sahmyook University, Bangladesh Kaliakoir City, BASC University, Mahmud Adarsh Handicapped School, Kaliakoir Disabled People\u2019s Organization, Global Support Circle (GSC), etc. agreed to cooperate for the efficient operation and business promotion of the \u2018Change the World\u2019 project.<\/p>\n
As part of the university\u2019s innovation support project, \u201cChange the World\u201d is a service-learning project that transforms communities by working with local students rather than one-sided charity service.<\/p>\n
In January, Sahmyook University dispatched a volunteer team of 28 students, five professors, and two employees from five teams to BASC University located in Kaliakoir City, Bangladesh, for a week of \u25b3cultural exchange \u25b3medical service (Department of Physical Therapy) \u25b3improvement of environmental awareness \u25b3 Korean food experience \u25b3upcycling and intensive social contribution activities were carried out.<\/p>\n
Notably, \u2018Change the World\u2019 is not a one-time service project but a mid-to-long-term project that will continue for the next two to three years. Sharing education, information, and experiences with local students participating in the project creates a social contribution direction that creates a foundation for self-reliance and continued volunteer service.<\/p>\n
This summer vacation, the plan is to expand the scope of cooperation and activities beyond BASC University and into the Kaliakoir community. Thirty-three students and advisors are dispatched to local schools for the disabled to improve educational programs for children with disabilities and provide medical services (Department of Physical Therapy) and software education services.<\/p>\n
President Il-mok Kim said, \u201cThrough this project, which will last for the next two to three years, Sahmyook University will build cooperative relationships with local universities and local communities and contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \u201cWe look forward to realizing that Sahmyook University\u2019s vision of \u2018changing the world through university education\u2019 will come true through close communication and exchanges with Bangladesh.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
