2017-12-20 Daejin knows TNKR

 


So much love! 2017-12-20, I was the guest speaker at a girl's high school in Seoul. They welcomed me like I was a movie star.

During my speech, none of them fell asleep. Some of them were even nodding their heads "yes" when I made important points.

During Q&A, they had good questions. They had read many articles about TNKR and watched some of my interviews.

The topic was volunteerism in a global age. Some of the students say they want to volunteer with TNKR. What is clear is that they know what TNKR is and they are much more aware about issues related to North Korean refugees.

The teachers seemed to love my speech, but they may want to clarify or explain my point that high schoolers are usually too young to be useful volunteers.

Q&A is time for me to squash the dreams of people who think they are going to change the world, and do so overnight.

With some of the teachers and school leaders. It seemed to be a big deal that I was visiting.

The principal welcomed me to the school like I was an old friend.

Grace was the host of the event, and she helped me feel at home!

How many speakers take a photo of the audience?







Then it was photo time!


I don't recall ever taking a selfie by myself, but I am delighted to join others when they ask me.

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...
