2018-06-18 TNKR's heroes, 7 days a week

2018-06-18 Two North Korean refugees who are TV personalities visited the TNKR office. They both said the same thing: We are heroes.

It is a great feeling. Many people chase those TV personalities, want them to participate in activities, invite them to be part of what they are doing. But they came to us!

I am sure there are plenty of playboys and nice guys on the Internet who would be willing to teach them English, but they came to TNKR!

If I recall correctly, TNKR held orientation sessions last weekend on June 9 and 10. Our last "day off" was June 3, meaning that I have worked 15 days in a row, and with plans for orientation sessions this weekend, I may go almost the entire month of June with only one day off.

After working over the weekend holding a Matching session on Saturday and a Donor Appreciation event on Sunday, TNKR was back to work today. We had 4 interviews with refugees seeking to join the program.

We also had visitors who wanted to find out how they could get involved with TNKR. They can start by putting clocks and calendars on the walls, so we can remember the days of the week and the current time.

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022. Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .

Is the SOTU over?

Some people asked me if I watched President Biden’s State of the Union. Haha! I have seen enough of them. Not just Biden’s SOTU, but SOTUs by US presidents! Back in 1999, I not only watched President Clinton’s SOTU, but the Cato Institute gave me the task of keeping track of all of President Clinton’s proposals and promises. Since then I have watched few SOTUs, once as a blogger at the invitation of National Public Radio. https://tinyurl.com/3dv5y452
