2020-05-31 Top Fundraisers this week, featuring Eunhee Park

All of the fundraisers are special in their own way, wonderful little snowflakes gently landing on my head. This particular post today will highlight Eunhee Park's fundraiser.

5) Julianne, "Help North Korean refugees learn English!"

6) Stase Lynne Wells birthday fundraiser

In addition to the usual ills plaguing mankind, there is a global pandemic, riots in the US, and probably a lot of mayhem going on in other countries.

Despite that, some people are still taking the time to support the Teach North Korean Refugees Global Education Center (TNKR).

I must highlight TNKR Ambassador Eunhee Park setting up two birthday fundraisers to support TNKR. It is extra special when one of the students in your program believes it is important to raise money to support the organization.

In just one day, she has already raised more than $400--and it isn't even her birthday yet. What has been the secret to her success?

* She personalized the message.

* More than 700 people have been invited to donate, I am assuming by her. Eleven people have donated so far. She is being proactive with it, which is important. Most people don't bother with even setting up a fundraiser, which Facebook has made so easy to do. Many who do set them up don't invite anyone. There are so many messages, so many controversies in the world that it is easy for postings to get lost in the shuffle.

* She set up fundraisers at both Facebook and re-posted her fundraiser at our crowdfunding site.

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 .

North Korean defector seeks justice (Korea Times)

  It was international news when 12 North Korean waitresses and a male manager who worked at a restaurant operated by the North Korean regime in China arrived in South Korea in 2016.  The waitresses have mostly maintained a low profile. There have been numerous accusations and assertions, with some saying the waitresses didn't want to escape, some accused the Park Geun-hye administration of playing politics by releasing details of the case, etc., etc., etc. My blog at the Korea Times today features an exclusive interview with one of the former North Korean waitresses who filed a criminal case against the former manager. You can read about it here on the Korea Times website. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2023/02/728_345165.html   Keep in mind that there are many more facts to the case and that it is much deeper than this brief excerpt of her comments. She also shared legal documents that I shared with the Korea Times well in advance to give them time to review t...
