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. >> >>Sincerely, Lee Falconer >>British Columbia, Canada >> >
