Elliott School graduate student, Alyssa Abraham, was recently featured in The Chosun Ilbo-- one of the most widely read newspapers in South Korea (think the New York Times of South Korea), for her internship at Cafe Grace. Cafe Grace employs North Korean refugee women who have difficulty finding jobs in South Korea. Alyssa teaches English to a North Korean refugee while helping out in other ways (like making coffee on occasion!).
Alyssa's efforts to help North Korean refugees extends beyond the walls of the cafe. She assists with tutoring an English class for North Korean children and attended a Peace Conference last week. Alyssa spends a lot of her time building relationships with the people she works with-- many of whom have been very supportive of her efforts.
