This video tells the amazing story of Ki-Won, the first refugee rescued in TheHundred, LiNK's ambitious campaign to rescue one hundred refugees from North Korea:
Ki-Won is 75 years old. Born in China after his parents fled North Korea during Japanese colonization, he returned to North Korea in his 20s and married Hayoung a year later. In his 60s, Ki-Won escaped to China with Hayoung to find food.The cost of one rescue, which provides food, shelter, transit, guides, paperwork and other incurred expenses along the way, is $2500. To learn more about what you can do to support and rescue TheHundred, go to LiNK's website here.
Since Ki-Won had been out of China – his birthplace – for 40 years, the Chinese government denied him citizenship, so the couple hid in the underground for over 10 years until LiNK brought them out into our Southeast Asia shelter.
