Today is Fast for NK. If you choose so, you can either

- Fast and send a days worth of meals for North Korean children
- Send the check

Being a college student I have much experience in skipping meals. But that’s a choice I make. For many North Koreans in North Korea and China, it is something they face everyday. Differences in purchasing power does matter. One day’s worth of meals in the US could mean many days, even weeks, in China. I can assure you that your generosity will make a difference.

Please donate today.
