Introducing No Chain for North Korea

No Chain is an organization that was started by a North Korean by the name of Jung Gwang-il.



he spent time in Yodok political prison camp and was released in 2003.
Shortly after, he managed to escape his homeland

His strategy has been to send rice in bottles, radios, dvd's and information about the outside world on usb drives or sd cards.
the groups delivery method has traditionally been via the sea currents that flow towards North Korea or balloons floated over the border but they are now looking at drone delivery.
the group also helps NK refugees get out of China and in to safe countries.

i see this group as worth supporting.

you can read about Jung Gwang-il in this article
