Encore! Encore! Encore speech at Daejin Girls' HS (2022-09-06)

Last night I celebrated my birthday with a speech at Daejin Girls' High School. Yesterday's speech was about Harvard University. I returned today to give a speech about volunteering.

If I am ever in a bad mood then I will contact the school to ask if they will let me speak to the students.

It was another great evening. The last two nights they heard me speak for a total of three hours, and they remained focused the entire time.

One of the teachers at the school took many photos that she will be sending to me soon.

FSI co-founder Eunkoo Lee was the interpreter although the students demonstrated that they understood most of what I said.

Tonight because the topic was volunteering and we mentioned FSI, I made it a point to make sure Eunkoo (a shy lady) said something. And she did!

SELFIE TIME

I have never asked anyone to take a selfie, but I have agreed to join selfies with others. The last two nights I have been a photo zone.

Meeting with teachers

After meeting with students I met with teachers at the school as well as from other schools who came to interview me about North Korean refugee students.

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

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...
