오늘은 '배나무 이사회' 89회를 촬영했습니다.

'TNKR (Teach North Korean Refugees) 활동에 대해'를 주제로
2015년 한국 입국, 현재 TNKR에서 영어를 배우고 있는 평양 출신 나민희 님께서 사회를 보시고,
2013년 TNKR을 공동 창립, 현재 공동대표를 맡고 계신 한국 출신 이은구 님과 미국 출신 Casey Lartigue 님 모시고 말씀 나누었습니다.

나민희 님은

"지식을 떠나 사랑을 나누는 이런 단체에 더 많은 관심이 있어야 한다고 생각해 배나TV에 모시고 나왔다"라고 말씀하셨습니다.

이은구 대표님께서는
"TNKR은 비영리민간단체로 탈북민들에게 미래를 위해 무료로 영어 학습 할 수 있는 기회를 제공한다"라며
"탈북민들에게 더 다양한 기회를 제공하고자 하는 것이 설립 목적"이라고 하셨습니다.

Casey Lartigue 대표님께서는
"TNKR은 탈북민 학생이 중심이 되어 선생님 선택도 직접 한다"라고 하시며 일반영어, 영어 대중 강의, 취업능력 향상 프로젝트 등 구체적인 교육내용에 관해서도 소개해 주셨습니다. 영어뿐 아니라 탈북민들에게 자신감, 세계에 대한 지식을 늘리는 기회를 제공하고 싶으시다는 말씀도 하셨습니다.

어떻게 이 일에 관심을 가지게 되었는지, 설립 초기의 에피소드, 어려웠던 점, 도움 주신 분들, 자원봉사자, 함께 한 학생들, 기쁘고 보람되었던 일, 가장 기억 남는 순간, 향후 계획, 후원 요청 등에 관해서도 이야기 나누었습니다.

2015-10-09 TNKR tutor flies from Jeju to Seoul

Today is a holiday in Korea, but that didn't mean that studying in Teach North Korean Refugees (TNKR) had a day off. TNKR co-directors Eunkoo Lee and Casey Lartigue joined a class by the tutor in TNKR who has won the "Came the Longest Distance" award. Afsha flew from Jeju Island to Seoul to tutor one of the learners in TNKR. The only way anyone will be able to top her will be if the person flies from a different country! Her student today has been in our program for several months, all of his tutors talk about what a great student he is! Focused, friendly, eager to learn.

Teach North Korean Refugees--directions to Mulmangcho Human Rights Institute

DIRECTIONS to Mulmangcho Institute=Easy, easy, easy. Almost like they chose the location for the people who get lost within a block from home... * Bangbae station on line 2, exit 1. Walk to the top of the stairs. * Look to your left. There will be a Woori Bank teller machine. * Standing, looking directly at the teller machine location, walk inside the building to the right of it, under the navy blue sign with the telephone number "587-4145-6..." Walk up to the 3rd floor, room 305. That's it. After you leave the subway exit, it will take you about 5 seconds to get to the building. I don't have a Naver map for it, but if you are driving, use the Bangbae subway as a landmark. Bangbae station (line 2) exit 1 Woori Bank Bd (우리은행건물) #305호 I know people won't believe me, they have been lied to so many times by people in Korea who said a location was "easy to find." I have learned that "easy to find" in Korea means: “Sure, just go down ...

How not to get your ass beat by the police

The black president of the United States stupidly commented on the arrest of a black Harvard professor in his own home by a white police officer. Some random thoughts and memories: * I'm sure most people are still trying to figure out who Prof. Gates is. As G.K. Chesterton once wrote: "Journalism consists largely in saying 'Lord Jones is dead' to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive." * Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Gates' arrest was "every black man's nightmare." Perhaps. But having a criminal in my house is even more of a nightmare. Also, having the president of the United States talk off the cuff about me about something he doesn't know is pretty bad. And getting shot by a cop after I escalated a situation would also be worse than getting arrested. Anyway, I have had my own dealings with the police over the years: * Back when I was a college student many many moons ago, one of my brothers and I got stopped by police in Bro...

Walter E. Williams on Rush Limbaugh

Professor Walter E. Williams will be hosting the Rush Limbaugh Show 8/24/10 from noon-3 p.m. EST. Thomas Sowell will be his featured guest the second hour. In case you can't hear the show or can't wait, you can listen to me interview him back in 2007 (hit the free user button, wait for countdown, then download). We discussed reparations for slavery during one show and the minimum wage on another. By the way, I was really thankful that he agreed to be on my show twice during the three months I was on the air. I interviewed him another time when I was a guest host and he interviewed me on the Rush Limbaugh about a paper I wrote about education in Washington, D.C. When I contacted him and told him that I was going to have my own show and that I would be delighted if he would come on from time to time, he hesitated at first. I waited. He then said it would be okay. I know he won't do anything if it is inconvenient for himself, so I asked if there was a conflict. He said he had...
