Eben's fundraiser for FSI

The organization's name is Freedom Speakers International (FSI), and this fundraiser is a $4000 Matching Donation Challenge. The organization's name suits it's mission to empower North Korean refugees to speak out on local, national an international platforms about life in North Korea and their escapes to freedom. For every dollar donated by supporters such as yourselves, it will be doubled by a generous donor.

FSI wears many hats. It publishes books of NK refugees' autobiographies telling their life stories. The NK refugees have slowly progressed to learning fluent English, to giving public speeches with ease on local, national and international platforms. FSI has recently traveled to India, and to Warsaw, Poland to attend Warsaw's "International Book Fair" where 3 NK refugees accompanied by its co-founders signed and sold their autobiographies and told passerbys their stories. Etc.

Soon FSI will be holding its "I am from North Korea" English Speech contest and will provide the refugees with free mentoring services as always.

As you can see, from the amazing activities FSI is involved in to help the NK refugees succeed, requires money for travel expenses, etc. and to help sustain the FSI NGO. Please follow my lead and donate in support of FSI. Any donation large or small is gratefully appreciated.

Thanks to a generous South Korean donor, Freedom Speakers International is running a Matching Challenge to empower North Korean refugees.

From June 22 to August 3, forty supporters of FSI set up donations in response. The donor has pledged to donate $100 for every fundraiser set up — up to 40 fundraisers total. Additionally, an American donor has secretly donated $20 to each fundraiser.

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

Our Korean donor has pledged to continue this Matching Challenge. He is inspired by the people who support FSI.

By starting or supporting a fundraiser, you’re helping them continue that journey.
Even if you don’t raise any money, just setting one up helps us unlock more support.

Together, we can amplify voices that were once silenced.
