For international students struggling with Corona 19, JJ University raised 100 won per kilometer. 

 

Sweat for someone is valuable. Professor Lee Jin-ho of Jeonju University, who rode bicycles to Busan, Yeosu and Jeju for freshmen who failed to attend school due to Corona 19, stepped on a sweaty bicycle pedal to help international students this time.

 

On the 26th, Professor Lee Jin-ho of Jeonju University, alumni Park Kwang-soo and Cho Kyung-seok of the mission support office went on a long four-night, five-day journey to raise scholarships for international students. It's a long journey of distance is 500km. Professor Lee Jin-ho's team cycled from Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do to Buan, Buan, and Hampyeong, Jeollabuk-do, Mokpo, Naju, Suncheon, and Suncheon to Goseong and Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do.

 

The process was not smooth due to the long march to cross the administrative districts of the three provinces. On the way, there was a shower and a bicycle crossed a steep mountain where the engine of the car was struggling. He also suffered abrasions to the saddle after riding the bike for a long time. Among these challenging journeys, Professor Lee Jin-ho's team was able to cheer up 100 won each time they traveled 1km. And it was an expectation of the moment when they collected 100 won each and delivered it to international students.

 

Cho Kyung-seok, an official at the mission support office, said, "We were physically tired due to repeated uphill paths and high daily temperature range, but we were able to complete 500km thinking of the smiles that students will be happy."

 

On the 7th, Professor Lee Jin-ho and his group finished their 500km journey and held a scholarship ceremony for international students who had been looking forward to it. The donation, which collected 100 won per kilometer, amounted to 14,740,000 won. It was the result of sincere collection by local residents, church, businesses, and members of the school.

 

In addition, a total of 22,000,000 won in scholarships for international students was delivered on the day, including 7,300,000 won raised through the "Special pastoral visitation Lee Jin-ho" of Jeonju Donghyeon Church, which sweats together in the lives of the saints and establishes them as heroes of life.

 

Lee Jin-ho, a professor at Jeonju University, said, "We have prepared this campaign to help international students who are suffering from financial difficulties due to Corona 19, feel unconditional love and grow into prepared talents to save their country." He also said, "In the second semester, professors from certain subjects will participate together and plan to visit families of international students next year when the corona is expected to end. "

 

Professor Lee Jin-ho has conducted a total of three fundraising campaigns for the "Cycle of Love" scholarships. Professor Lee has traveled a total of 1,100 kilometers by bicycle, meeting 51 freshmen in person and cheering for them. The course was also broadcast live on YouTube and impressed many people. So far, donations of 100 won per kilometer totaled 38,828,200 won, all of which were delivered as scholarships for Jeonju University students and international students.
