HanVoice’s Settlement Committee is kicking off a new “buddy” program to work in tandem with the North Koreans who are here in Toronto. If you are interested in volunteering and working with the North Koreans on the ground here, please contact settlement@hanvoice.org. The first information session will be held on Friday, July 17th, 7:00 pm at Mike Kim’s place on 330 St. George St. The session will last for about two hours and all are welcome to attend!

The newest batch of Ambassadors are hosting a “North Korean Lunch-and-a-Movie”, which features a screening of “Crossing”, accompanied by a “tiered” menu where guests randomly draw their loyalty class, which determines how lavishly you’ll eat!

Here are the event details:

When: Saturday, July 4th, 12:30-3PM
Where: Bloor United Church (300 Bloor St. W)
Cost: $10

RSVP to the facebook event too!

We’d REALLY appreciate your support, so if you’re interested in attending,
***please e-mail your RSVP to: hanvoicelunchrsvp@gmail.com as soon as possible*** as we need to figure out numbers for food.
