New life - Learning English (Hyekyoung)

My name is Hyekyoung Lee.
I am from North Korea and joined Freedom Speakers International (FSI) as a keynote speaker.

When I was 12 years old, I suddenly lost my parents and became an orphan. After going through many difficult days, I came to South Korea in 2006 with my older brother.

In 2024, I participated in the FSI English Speech Contest, and thanks to FSI, I have since had the valuable experience of speaking in front of international audiences.

I am truly grateful to FSI for creating these opportunities, and I will continue to do my best to share my story in English.
In order for organizations like FSI to continue their important work, your support is essential.
Please join us.

Thank you.

Thanks to a generous donor, Freedom Speakers International is launching a $4,000 Matching Challenge.
A generous donor has pledged to donate $50 for every person who:

• Sets up a fundraiser

• Raises at least $10

• Shares it at least once on social media

That means:

• 10 fundraisers = $500

• 40 fundraisers = $2,000

• 80 fundraisers = $4,000 (FULL MATCH)

At FSI, we empower North Korean refugees through education and public speaking. Many of them are now giving speeches around the world, writing books, and telling their stories in English for the first time.

By starting or supporting a fundraiser, you’ll be helping them continue that journey.
Even $10 can unlock $50 in matched funds.

Join us. Start your fundraiser. Share it.
Together, we can amplify voices that were once silenced.
