Could anyone have anticipated that in our 25th anniversary year, we would not be able to do what we have done multiple times in every prior year of our existence - visit the DPRK to continue meaningful humanitarian work and ship vital humanitarian goods to the country?

The impact in the DPRK and on our normal work and activities so far this year has also been significant, but we are hopeful that it will ultimately prove to be a temporary, pregnant pause.
