TIME Asia May 1st Edition features Helping Hands Korea in its cover story "Long Walk to Freedom".

  US Edition: "Running Out of the Darkness"

Welcome to Helping Hands Korea!

If you are not already aware that the North Korean population is enduring such widespread human rights violations that the DPRK is commonly called “the world’s largest prison camp”*, perhaps the activities of our NGO might help to underscore this grim and painful fact. Nevertheless, raising awareness, as important as it is, ranks fourth down the list of priorities of our Christian NGO. (*Human Rights Watch, 2004)

Please read on about the details of our activities. As you do, brace yourself for descriptions of an existence that may be vastly different from the one that you are familiar with. Also, kindly realize that many details of our projects are necessarily withheld for security concerns to protect both the refugees and the intrepid souls who protect them. My hope is that you will be moved by what you read---but not only moved to words and tears of sympathy. My prayer is that you will be moved yet further---to tangible acts of compassion as well as fervent intercession for suffering individuals, all of whom have names, ages, relatives and a torturous history of physical and emotional scars.
