   Even in this economic recession, Yeungnam University students continue volunteering. 

   Yeungnam University (president Tong-ki Woo) held a launching ceremony for the 16th overseas volunteer group at the Humanities auditorium on December 26.

   The 66 students and 6 faculty members who joined this event will go to Thu Duc in Vietnam, Prey Veng in Cambodia, and Batangas in Philippines on the 29th to practice 'Love without Borders' for 18 days.

   Meanwhile, Yeungnam University has been dispatching overseas volunteer groups to China, Mongolia, Uzbekistan and Southeast Asia during summer breaks since 2001.

   1,300 students have participated in these volunteer services so far and the Yeungnam University overseas volunteer groups have played their roles of civil diplomats to improve the image of Korea.
