TNKR partnership with public charter school in the USA


Why would a public charter school educating low-income black students in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, want to partner with a grassroots start-up non-profit in South Korea providing education opportunities for North Korean refugees? And vice-versa?

Tomorrow at 3 a.m. Korea time, I will be leading a brainstorming discussion on Zoom exploring the possible partnership between the unlikely allies. The school is much larger than TNKR, they have many reasons NOT to have such a partnership.

Let's see if we can brainstorm some opportunities for a partnership with the school, and even examine if this partnership would be worth pursuing.

If there is interest in this initiative, I would be delighted to have another call at a reasonable time for people in South Korea.

Why will I be awake so early in the morning? That's because TNKR Fan Club president Eben Appleton will be having a meeting from 2 a.m.!

Here are the links to the call Eben will be running.

Note #1: If there is an emergency, such as you get the Zoom links mixed up, then... try the other link?

Note #2: The last time I hosted an event at 3 a.m., I received messages from a few people saying they thought it was a typo, they assumed it was 3 p.m. Korea time instead of 3 a.m. Korea time. Really really really we will be holding these Zoom discussions from 2-4 a.m.

Note #3: Before the People of the Internet conclude that Eben somehow coerced me into waking up at that time (as if ANYONE in the world could force me into a call at that time), I made it clear to her that I could join a call at any time and we should schedule it at a time that people in the USA could be available.

Note #4: If you plan on joining, please let us know? At this point, we have no idea how many people are interested in joining these calls.

  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...
