>Dear Mr. Falconer,
>
> Thank you very much for writing me about your interest in helping
>the Korean people in their reconstruction after the floods.
> Unfortunately for you North Korea feels it is able to repair the
>damage and handle the construction and medical care by itself. What it
>cannot buy itself, however, is replenishing the shortage of rice caused by
>the floods. Not only were the rice paddies badly destroyed but much of the
>storage of rice in the damaged areas were wiped out. Therefore my program
>and that of the relief organizations is simply to provide rice so the
>population does not starve.
>
> I will place your letter on our Internet Home page and I am sure
>the people of North Korea, particularly the flood victims, will be moved
>by your humanitarian instincts.

>Warmest regards,

>> Dear Mr. Krisher
>>
>> I am a 27 year old college student and Korea-phile. I have
>>been studying the Korean language in my spare time for 2 years.
>>Although I have no money to donate, I would very much like to
>>contribute to the crisis in some way. Are there any organiza-
>>tions who are sending volunteers to North Korea? Before going
>>back to college I spent several years as a laborer in construc-
>>tion. I would be willing to donate my time indefinately to aid
>>in the reconstruction of homes and roads.
>> Please tell me if it would be possible for me to do this
>>and who I should contact.
