These high school students visiting South Korea did the DMZ tour. They heard a speech from a North Korean refugee who is not a public figure. They listened patiently to a long speech I gave, and they asked many questions, too. Incredibly, none of them went to sleep, despite waking up at 5 a.m. and spending the day at the DMZ
These kinds of events are always fun. When the host asked me how long I could speak, I responded, "About TNKR? If I start early in the morning, then I can talk until tomorrow."
When they asked me if I could speak to the high school kids, I suggested it would be a good idea to have a refugee speaker. This is one time that the hosts initially said "no thank you." They wanted the kids to hear about me co-founding an organization to inspire the kids. Then later they agreed it could be good to hear from a student in TNKR, and later they were glad they had listened!
The kids were asking some tough questions!
