International Volunteer Group ASEZ Conducted a Cleanliness Campaign
On March 12, 2026, the International Volunteer Group ASEZ conducted a cleanliness campaign at the Red Cross Society Old Age Home in Sector 15, Panchkula, making the surroundings clean and pleasant. ASEZ is a University Student Volunteer group of the Church of God World Mission Society (led by Pastor Kim Joo Cheol, commonly known as Church of God).
An ASEZ official said, “Young people have come together to clean the foundation of life that God has created for humanity and to bring daily joys to their neighbors.”
On that day, ASEZ members and volunteers enthusiastically participated in the cleanliness campaign. They carefully inspected the surroundings of the Old Age Home and collected various types of waste
from the area. Through their dedicated efforts, the surroundings of the Red Cross Old Age Home became visibly cleaner and more pleasant for the elderly residents and visitors.
During the campaign, the volunteers also had the opportunity to meet Ashim Kumar Ghosh, the Governor of Haryana, and Ankush Miglani, Vice Chairman of the Red Cross Society Haryana. They appreciated the efforts of the young volunteers for taking initiative in environmental protection and community service and encouraged them to continue contributing positively to society.
Local citizens and staff members of the Old Age Home also expressed their gratitude to the volunteers for their meaningful service. The campaign not only improved the cleanliness of the surroundings but also brought joy and encouragement to the elderly residents living in the facility.
An ASEZ member Divya said with a smile, “All volunteer activities are carried out with deep faith and a sense of social responsibility, inspired by the teachings of our Heavenly Mother.” The member explained that the Heavenly Mother teaches them to love humanity, serve society selflessly, and care for the Earth as a shared home. The volunteer added, “We believe that true faith is expressed through service. Following the guidance of our Heavenly Mother, we actively participate in volunteer activities to bring positive change to society and spread the message of love, unity, and compassion through our actions.”
The Red Cross Old Age Home in Sector 15 Panchkula serves as a residence for elderly people who require care and support. Maintaining cleanliness in such places is essential for the health and well-being of the residents. This voluntary effort by the youth not only improved the environment but also demonstrated love and care for the elderly members of society.
