Report from the Ecumenical Forum for Korea

Warm greetings from Seoul!  
Expressing my heartfelt appreciation again to all who have been showing solidarity in our journey toward peace and reunification as well as humanitarian supporting people in North Korea, I would like to share with you the lively report about the recent NCCK's monitoring visit to Pyungyang.  
Duration : December 10(Saturday)-14(Wednesday), 2011
Participants : 10 people  

Followed by the 1st food shipment of 172 tons of wheat flour on May, 2011 through the Amity Foundation in China, the NCCK in solidarity with the Ecumenical Forum for Korea has sent again its 2nd food shipment of 180 tons of wheat flour to the Korean Christian Federation in North Korea on 11th of November.  

We believe that this humanitarian support to North Korea has been carried in the spirit of Christian love and we have been keeping the spirit that the humanitarian aid should be done without any condition in the situation which over 1/3 of whole population is facing with starving and suffering with chronic and severe mal-nutrition. As you are already informed, in North Korea at least 700g of food per person is needed for daily life, but now only 200g is distributed as a daily ration.  As the request by the Ministry of Unification of South Korea, however, 10 people of the NCCK as a
monitoring group visited North Korea.
