Danielle Voorhies for R4R

Running 4 Resettlement is a fundraising initiative devoted to raising money and awareness for the human rights situation in North Korea and to rescue refugees who are struggling in third countries. I will run a half-marathon in the Kim Dae Jung Peace Marathon, held on Sunday, June 14. Contributions to Citizens' Alliance for North Korean Human Rights Rescue Fund (NKHR Rescue Fund) will enable NKHR to rescue as many lives as possible.

About me: I have always had a passion for working with diverse groups of people, especially those who are often under-represented and are in need of a bit of help and/or recognition. Naturally, upon graduation and coming to Korea, I continued my mission by volunteering with Gwangju’s Hana Center for North Korean defectors where I have been granted the privilege of working with a wonderful group of people and hearing their stories for 1 ½ years. I am excited to serve as the Regional Coordinator for Jeonllanamdo, Kyungsannamdo, Jeju, and Busan to give back to the community that has helped me develop a passion for North Korean human rights.
