IGNIS Mentioned in TIME Magazine

What do you think of when you hear the word North Korea?

This TIME Magazine article was published one year ago from this month (August 24, 2017). It was published when political tensions were at their highest and when humanitarian work in the DPRK met many challenges to continue on-going support.

Since then, much has happened in one year's time. Tensions still exist between the US and DPRK, and there are still many uncertainties for continuing humanitarian work. However, this article is a good reminder of the good things that are happening in North Korea. It puts aside political views to look beyond the surface into the positive impact of engaging with DPRK.
