So we can benefit from the international cmomuitny for education, English language training, job tinriang, and more. We can also act as a bridge between the people inside ntorh Korea and the outside world. Because many of us stay in contact with falmiy mmerebs still inside, and we send information and money that is helping to change North keroa from inside.
