 |
|
| I've noticed that there have been at least a couple of flights of refugees to come into the country. I was wondering if anyone knows of any opportunities to work as an English teacher with N. Korean refugees. I thought there might be a government program or something. I would be interested in such a position if it existed, even on a volunteer basis. Please let me know if you have any leads on such a position. Thanks. |

Someone posted on here that they teach said individuals.
I believe they said a lot of them live South of Seoul in Kyonggi somewhere.
Sure would be interesting to hear what they have to say!
The South Korean gov't seems to squelch a lot of what defectors say, for fear of embarrasment, I've heard. Apparently, a fair number of them have been quite outspoken about atrocities happening in the North, but no one wants to rock the boat by talking/reporting much about it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's almost like people in the South want to stick their heads in the sand and don't want to believe what bad things go on up there. They'd rather be all sunshiny and friendly.
Gosh forbid they should have to see someone other than America as the enemy. |

based on my very limited experience, that is evidently exactly what they'd rather be. i had a korean woman tell me just last week that shes ashamed when she hears of NK gulags. makes some sense if you believe koreans are "all one blood." |
