“Martha” is a Ugandan refugee, single mom, activist, and a regular contributor to Hanokers Newsbrief.

Pnan is a real team of different individuals working together to help refugees in Korea fit in society. They know more than anyone else about the asylum process, help in the asylum process itself, and go out of their way to give asylum seekers all the relevant information that they need to know. It is one of the largest organizations - reaching out to and helping more refugees and migrants than any other organization, as far as I know . Online Korean programs,  food donations, assistance with legal and medical needs, social support, shelter when needed, and so much more. Most importantly, it is a safe place where everyone is welcomed with a smile and open arms. All refugee-related issues are answered to.

If you are a person who’s growing and at the same time contributing to the lives of others, you will be amazed at what can happen to your life. Not all of us in life can do great things , but we can do small things with great love. I feel sad to see that our best refugee organization is moving to a smaller space, due to financial reasons from reduced funding.  So here I come to ask everyone out there who is wishing refugees well. To all those out there, please do come out and contribute, leaving aside differences for now. To the Pnan team, this is a challenging time. But, please, just have this in mind, your efforts and hearts are deeply noticed and wholeheartedly appreciated. To the Korean people,  churches and organizations, who wish refugees well, giving is not just making a donation, it's about making a difference in real people’s lives. I say this from my personal experience. For those out there who will come across my message,  please tag a friend and ask them to continue sharing till we find enough support.  Pnan is an exceptional organization that deserves support from all of us.
