Who Are We?
We are a group of bloggers who support Helping Hands Korea, a charity which helps North Korean refugees escape persecution and poverty via an Underground Railroad.What Is the Problem?
Which is worse: living in a country where the vast majority of citizens will die a slow, painful death from famine or torture, or trying to escape via a perilous journey where the slightest misstep can result in imprisonment, torture, sexual exploitation, and constant terror. Every North Korean faces just this dilemma. Escape is exceptionally difficult. The Chinese government, in violation of all international treaties, aggressively seeks out North Korean refugees and punishes them severely. Private citizens often blackmail North Korean refugees and exploit and degrade them. For the few who manage to survive this ordeal, life is still far from easy. Most were forced to leave family members behind, and will never hear news about their welfare again. Most face discrimination in their new countries and have difficulty beginning a new life.
