Dear Paul,

Thank you for your message. I am only knowledgeable about our own program
and the list of our own donors which appears on our Home Page. I recommend
you contact the World Food Program, UNDP, The International Red Cross, the
Treasure Dept. (Foreign Assets Control), CARITAS, World Vision,
Inter-Action (in Washington), for details of other donors' activities.

I am planning another trip to North Korea in the coming month or two and
will be pleased to add further donations so I can purchase and distribute
more medicine and food.

Best regards,

Bernard Krisher
