After speaking at an international school twice this week, today I played the role of connector and moderator. It was a great event, two of our "Teach North Korean Refugee" Ambassador speakers gave very nice speeches this morning to an overflow crowd of students.
The hosts were probably a bit surprised by the turnout of our team:
* TNKR co-directors Lee Eunkoo and Casey Lartigue
* TNKR Special Assistant Suzanne Atwill Stewart
* FF Assistant Cherie Yang
* Three TNKR coaches of our speakers
* Three NK refugees, including two speakers
It was like our speakers had their own cheering section!
The teachers strongly praised me for my speeches on Tuesday and Wednesday, it turned out that they used a lot of what I presented in learning exercises for the students, and several told me that they felt inspired by the things I had said.

Another speaker at the event in the first session was Joseph Park, someone who I am sure people have said that I should meet, but this was the first time...

After the event, then lunch, I then met with another TNKR coach who is joining the project....
