VIDEO: Meet Two Sisters Who Escaped from North Korea
Hye Won and her sister In Ae resettled in 2010 after escaping North Korea. Though they have faced challenges adjusting to life in South Korea, they are focused on their futures and making the most of their freedom. Hye Won attends one of the most prestigious universities in South Korea and participated in our Study Abroad and Career Development Program, while In Ae traveled to Southeast Asia to volunteer with children from low-income families and received English tutoring through our English Teaching and Cultural Exchange Program.
You can help newly-arriving North Korean refugees like Hye Won and In Ae resettle successfully by fundraising or donating to our Resettlement Assistance Program.
