"Eight years ago, after escaping North Korea and being caught and repatriated several times, / had given up everything and was imagining my next life. The last time I escaped I had no hope and no regrets, and just decided to go as far as my feet would take me.
But this time, LiNK came to me unexpectedly like a ray of light, and brought me quickly and safely to South Korea.
Of this I'm sure: today, LiNK and all of LiNK's supporters are pioneers bringing North Korean human rights and freedom forward. Tomorrow, another North Korean will start a new life and this will become two people, then ten, and then hundreds more people knowing the value of human rights and freedom!"
