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.

Helping North Koreans 'strike the blow' (Korea Times)

H ave you ever engaged in action not because you were sure it would change the world, but to satisfy your own heart? That, I emailed to an American friend, is why I have joined the effort to help North Koreans who are trying to escape from their homeland. I can’t change the direction of policy in North Korea or China but I can row the boat I am sitting in rather than lamenting that I can’t steer the yachts somewhere else. So I have tried to do what I can: Attending protests in front of the Chinese embassy in Seoul (and I plan to do so when I visit America in April); donating money to the Citizens’ Alliance for North Korean Human Rights ( www.nkhumanrights.or.kr ); educating myself, writing articles and emailing friends; and, as a member of the board of trustees, I recently submitted a resolution to the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association (FDMHA) in Washington, D.C., to try to call attention to the plight of North Koreans. Our organization’s missi...
