2019-01-31 Raffle of the Year (compliments of BsRabbit)

 


RAFFLE OF THE YEAR!

Thanks to Song Eun Sun CEO of BsRabbit for donating many snowboarding and winter sportswear items for TNKR's 9th English speech contest.

And our volunteers and fans have also been dropping off items, and several more have contacted me to let me know they will be bringing items for the raffle!

Our contest is on February 23 from 2 pm at the Shin and Kim Law Office.

Their clothing is a combination of snowboarding and hip-hop street style fashion. Not only will you leave TNKR's English speech contest learning many things from original English speeches by North Korean refugees, but you could also be leaving the contest wearing some sporty snowboarding wear.

Here's an article about BsRabbit.

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...
