LiNK (which stands for Liberty in North Korea) is a non-profit organization in which we tour the country of the United States to show the documentary, host fundraisers, and events in hope to raise money to relocate many of the refugees in North Korea who are unable to flee. Currently, there is a crisis dealing with human rights that is present in North Korea.
Not only does the North Korean government limit free speech, assembly, press, and religion, but wrong doers and wrong thinkers are also punished in ways we could never imagine, sometimes even with death.
There is also a large amount of people who are malnourished because the government barely rations enough food to keep people alive. The women and children of North Korea are forced into Sex Trafficking and Child labor while the men are being tortured in concentration camps. This situation is worsened when the North Koreans try to flee their country in search of food and/or freedom, but are not welcomed in neighboring countries and are often killed in the process of making a better life for themselves and their families.
I was granted the opportunity to become a part of the LINK team after a competitive series of interviews, questions, letters, and videos this coming. Out of all the potential interns from my school, I was granted the internship as a Fall 2011 Intern. I’ll be spending the Fall 2011 semester interning at the LiNK headquarters in Torrance, California!This is a remarkable experience as well as a world changing movement! As a volunteer in California my duties will attain to doing what ever it takes to raise awareness to this crisis!
This is why I am wriitng this
blog! I ask for a small
donation to help out with expenses surrounding the internship.
Anything given helps the most and will be deeply appreciated!
I you wish to contribute you may do so here.
