The NGO Teach North Korean Refugees (TNKR) is very excited to
work with students from the Asia Christian Schools Conference
(ACSC)! Students attending the 2018 ACSC in Seoul will learn
about how to help North Korean refugees. Further, ACSC students
will hear from, and in some cases volunteer with North Korean
refugees.
Many students at the ACSC will visit the volunteer-based
nonprofit organization Teach North Korean Refugees (TNKR), meet
and hear from college-level English-speaking North Korean
refugees, and participate in a meaningful service project.
Teach North Korean Refugees (TNKR) is a volunteer-based nonprofit
NGO that empowers North Korean refugees to find their own voice
and path through education, advocacy, and support.

To help North Korean refugees adjust to life in South Korea,
continue to allow TNKR to provide free English language learning
opportunities for refugees, and pay for our education center,
TNKR relies on donations. We invite you to support TNKR by
sharing this fundraiser or setting up your own.
Thank you for your support!
