Grace Jo, Vice-president of NKinUSA made a speech at Danforth University Center about her life in North Korea, her story of escaping from North Korea with her family, and her dreams in the USA.
Swetha Nakshatri, a reporter wrote a report about the speech of Grace Jo on "Student Life", the independent newspaper of Washington University in St. Louis.
After Grace Jo's father was imprisoned and killed by North Korean regime for his illegal crossing the border to get foods, her family escaped China when Grace Jo was only six years old.
Grace Jo discussed the harships that she and her family faced in China. After Jo and her family secured passage to the USA in December 2006.
Grace Jo and her sister, Jinhye Jo founded NKinUSA, a non-proft organization focused on refugee rescues and support for North Korean refugees in the USA.

The purpose of this blog is to help raise awareness toward severe human rights crisis of North Koreans and North Korean refugees.
I hope more people in the world look into human rights situation in North Korea as well as North Korean refugees in the Unites States who need financial and mental support for their successful resettlement in the USA.
