Hello Friend, 

I have a story that every high school student in America needs to hear.

I escaped North Korea and the horrors of socialism.

Most Americans today don’t understand what socialism does to you — especially the younger generation. 

High school students don’t know how it steals your humanity by starving your soul, mind, and stomach of all that freedom provides.
 

That’s why I want to tell my story to high school students across America. 
 

Young Voice’s Dissident Project brings survivors of tyrannical socialist countries to high schools around the United States to tell their stories. 

We are countering the mainstream narratives about how peaceful and successful socialism can be. Too many young people believe the United States is an evil, oppressive country and that capitalism is a failure. 

Friend, can you help sponsor a student for just $15, so they can hear my story—the story of a survivor? Click here to donate $15, $45, $90, or any amount >>>

This is my story.
 

During the 90s, North Korea suffered one of the world’s worst famines.

During that time, I only ate about one meal a week—a little rice, maybe some vegetables. Sometimes even mice that we caught. 

In 1998, my grandmother and younger brothers all passed away because of starvation. The food situation was very bad. My younger brother and I were starved for 10 days straight. We only drank cold water because there was no food we could find.

My father was tortured and starved to death, he passed away when North Korean agents transferred him from a detention center to jail, and his “crime” was that he left his country in search of food for his family. 

That was when my mother, sister, and I first escaped. It became the first of many, as we were caught, repatriated, and escaped again. 

Some of my family escaped, but the regime murdered most of them. 

This is just a small part of my story, Friend. 

Coming to America changed my life. 

That’s why I want to help preserve the freedom and prosperity in America by sharing my story and experiences with high school students across this wonderful country. 
 

That’s why I’m asking for your support, Friend. Can you help sponsor the Dissident Program so I can share my story?
