Most of you are aware of Invisible Children and Love146 by now. Both awesome organizations. Some of you don’t know about LiNK though. And you should.
LiNK focuses on the current human rights crisis which is happening in North Korea right now under the dictatorship of Kim Jong II. The North Korean government prohibits freedom of speech. Not only wrong-doers, but “wrong-thinkers” are punished, the press is centrally controlled, and there is virtually no access to outside information.
These wrong doers are then put into Political Concentration camps. Crazy right? The world still has concentration camps. I don’t need to say what happens in concentrations camps. You then have the refugees that have fled to China and who are hiding in the underground. Over 80% of the women and children refugees then face human & sex trafficking when they finally get to China.
If that short paragraph isn’t enough to get you to click here orhere, then i don’t really know what is. Buy a t-shirt, blog about the issues or help out by educating yourself about the situation.
The kids that work for LiNK risk their lives for what they believe in. Break the silence, even if its just for today.
