		<description>Thanks...

I think the individual groups I'm sure some of them belong to or are familiar with could do somethings that would very valuable on their websites too.

Like little short interview/presentations of the director or spokesman just saying, "This is what we do and where your donations to us go."

Or highlighting an missions or relief efforts in China for the refugees or refugees who make it to the South.

I believe there is so much a few 30 second or minute or 2 minute spots could do on a site like the one by Tim Peters or the other sites Ive seen in English by different groups based in South Korea.

And such spots are so easy to shoot, give a simple edit on computer, and store on a server like Yahoo or there own if they have one or some other one in Korea's broadban society.

www.voiceofpeople.org is a good example of what can be done, and the NKHR NGOs don't have to put that much money or effort into a small video section for their sites.....</description>

		<description>Kushibo,
I don't think there is any need to give Shelton a hard time over this.  I do what I can but I rarely make the Saturday meetings.

USinKorea,
I will try to make it to the April 29 meeting.  If I do, I will ask if anyone plans to video their upcoming events.</description>

		<description>I've also emailed sevearl of the groups - in spats to the point of probably being annoying - begging them to get with broadban and offer short video clips of conferences, interviews with refugees, on location with refugees, or interviews with people who work with refugees if they are afraid to be interveiwed on camera, and any other things to take advantage of the multi-media revolution on the internet -----

---that will reach a hell of a lot more people who don't know about the situation that the written text will.

I have gotten a few responses, but not much, and though it is still technically early since I started the periodic emailing (since a little before the Korea Dec. conference), I don't think I have seen them move in that direction ---- and big events have been coming and going.

I've also offered to edit video and make the pages for them to use (and even store it for them to link to on my Yahoo server) if they didn't have anybody who could do it better or the time and money to find a pro.

If they haven't gotten into the kind of stuff www.voiceofpeople.org uses to such great effect by this time next year, I will be more than disappointed.

And what is really a crime is if they haven't ---- how many millions around the world will not have stumbled across an understanding of what is going on?

(I get 3,000 hits on the www.usinkorea.org site, and much of it stemming from loosely related or totally unrelated search engine hits off the videos and images.)

On the religious orgs....

I am in pretty much 100% agreement with Kushibo, and in answer to someone's question, I think it was obvious he did what I've had the habit of doing the last few weeks ------ reading a note and having it snap into the context beyond what the author wrote but exactly one in which the conversation usually takes place in the expat community or just as often in Western educated circles or the society(ies) as a whole.

I don't enough about the regular activities of the Korean Christians and how it works specifically with their effort on the North Korea Problem....

but I do know educated Americans come into it with a lot of baggage.

And that is too long an item to even start on.......</description>

		<description>kushibo

Life is not that simple. You try to be as a good a person as you can using what the good lawd gave you. I've contacted LiNK before and didn't get any response. I'm willing to help them out in any way I can given what little free time I have.

Fight the power!</description>

		<description>What can anyone do about human rights in NK if the South Korean government will not cooperate? 

Indeed. S.K holds the lock and key to the gulags in N.K.

but certainly, weasles like yourself will never lift a finger to help anyone. just blame blame blame. 

there are small number of north koreans living abroad. At least one of them should .... next time a diplomat from nk visits...a top diplo, like a vice premier or something.. 
these people the escaped nk refugees.. have they no imagination...just watch cnn, damn it.

Or at least some of them crossing the yalu river back and forth, they should smuggle some.... components into nk and throw it into the stands at the very next mass games.

Fudge... If it doesn't happen from within... it's hopeless.
all those North koreans are guilty. All of those workers party members are guilty.  letting it happen. fudge..not enough of them revolting.  

I know.... it's easy for me to say revolt revolt revolt... seated behind this keyboard....nothing is gained without sacrifice. and at some point, many many people from within has to sacrifice.  All of those ngo's are just a band-aid applied to cancer patient at an advanced stage.</description>
