10th year challenge

Everybody is well aware of the current situation all around the world.  Because of today’s circumstances, we at LFNKR are, like so many other organizations, being seriously impacted. Our rescue activities have been drastically curtailed. Since the border between China and North Korea has been completely closed for over a year, rescue operations for North Korean defectors waiting in China have been indefinitely suspended.  Meanwhile, however, we are delighted to report on the great success achieved by one of our North Korean defector couples.  We were involved in their rescue and their resettlement in Japan.  In the following article the wife tells about the couple’s experiences.

It feels like it was just yesterday that we escaped from North Korea and came to Japan, but it’s been 10 years now.  Anyone over 40 will know this feeling – that the years have flown by.
