Paul's FSI Fundraiser

Hello! I would like to help support Freedom Speakers International by creating a fundraiser. I love the work that this organization does with North Korean Refugees! I also volunteer as a speech mentor for them and that has been some of the most meaningful work I have done in my life; I genuinely feel I had the opportunity to help make a positive difference in someone's life by helping them pursue their goal of giving a speech in English and got to witness their growth as a public speaker!

The cofounders and staff are all the real deal, as I have met many of them personally and can attest that they have their hearts in the right place and are passionate about uplifting refugees that seek out their guidance for learning English and Public Speaking. They've also helped author and publish several books! It is amazing to be even a small part of their work, and even a small donation will definitely be multiplied many times by their efforts to help North Korean refugees who are actively taking steps to better their situations in life.

Thank you for your consideration!

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

The Matching Donor has pledged $42,000 to FSI or $3,500 per month. The sooner we can hit the goal, the sooner we can get the money.

At FSI, we empower North Korean refugees through education and public speaking. Participants build English skills, develop confidence on stage, and learn how to present their own experiences with accuracy and dignity. Many now speak at universities, conferences, and public forums around the world. Some are publishing books, contributing to media discussions, and telling their stories in English for the first time.

This Matching Challenge allows every fundraiser created and every contribution made to have a greater impact. By starting or supporting a fundraiser, you help unlock additional matching funds that directly support mentoring, training sessions, speech preparation, and public events.

How can you join this?

* Become a monthly donor of any amount. 

* If you are already a monthly donor, you may switch your monthly donation to this fundraiser.

* Set up a fundraiser in support of this project.

Even if your fundraiser does not raise money, creating one still matters. Each new fundraiser increases visibility, expands our reach, and helps us unlock more support through the matching challenge.
