Learn about North Korean Human Rights Crisis at JFNK Volunteer Orientation

For those of you in Korea, if you don’t know much about the human rights crisis that is North Korea (and spilling into China and South Korea) and/or if you want to learn how to get involved, there’s a great opportunity for you this Saturday in English or next Saturday in Korean (please encourage your Korean friends. coworkers, students to attend!).

I volunteer with Justice for North Korea, and we’re holding our third round of informational orientation sessions for volunteers and anyone who’s interested in learning more.  Each time we’ve held these sessions we’ve tried to improve them, and I think we’ve got a great program in place now.

  • Learn about the situation North Koreans must endure in North Korea, China, and South Korea.
  • Taught by those with extensive experience assisting North Korean refugees. One speaker was himself once such a refugee in China.
  • Learn about opportunities to get involved.
