Briquette-carrying



 Have you ever heard about Briquette-carrying? It is one of the famous winter volunteering works in Korea. What one have to do in this volunteering work is same to its name.
 Some poor regions in Korea where people are hard to afford fuel heater, they still use briquette to heat their house. However, compare to its cheap price, it can heat the room for 7 to 8 hours. So for the poor strata, briquette is really important resource for their living. 
 For these reasons, many society groups donate a lot of briquette to Korea shantytown(we call it dal-dong-ne) and volunteering groups deliver this to each houses where briquette is needed.

 And there is also a briquette bank. Not only society groups but also anyone can donate briquettes by donator's(their own) name. There are many branches of briquette bank. It is Non Governmental Organization so person who needs help can get free briquette from there.
  As the weather gets colder, our neighbor's hand is also getting colder. We can make their hand warm by just joining this little volunteering work. I didn't experienced this before but I think it can be a good chance to feel our neighbor's heart.
