2014 Annual Report Table of Contents Greetings 3 Saejowi Philosophy 4 History 5 Projects 9 2014 Highlights 11 2014 Financial Report 28 Our Supporters 29 Warmhearted Volunteers 31 Funding Saejowi 32 3 Greetings We have successfully wrapped up 2014 with your support and the assistance of volunteers once again. We thank you heartily for not hesitating to support Saejowi's efforts to help North Korean re-settlers settle down successfully and continue working toward Unification. We publish Saejowi’s annual report in the hopes that more people would join us in our collective effort to create a unified Korea for the sake of our nation's unity and harmony. The main projects of 2014 were: Medical Assistance to North Korean re-settlers, Re-Settler Counselors Training, the awareness-raising program "I Love You Unification", Sexual Violence Counselors Training, Life Coaching Classes, North-South Coordinators Training, and the SNS initiative (The Unification Train), among others. Saejowi is not only supporting North Korean re-settlers' successful resettlement but also expanding our movement in order to make Unification a nationally supported "Happy Unification". People often worry that our lives after Unification will be more difficult than before Unification. A Unified Korea will indeed introduce new burdens, but it will also bring gains so substantial that they will offset the costs. We will be able to eliminate division administration costs, increase living space, expand the size of our economy, benefit from a unified wholesome cultural heritage, and improve our national image. Just as our nation has been continuing our five thousand years of history, life post-Unification may be difficult for a while, but a prepared Unification will certainly present us with a brighter future. The most critical but formidable step in Unification is unifying the two peoples. However, thanks to re-settlers, we can experience and practice Unification beforehand, and these re-settlers can play a significant role in bridging North and South Koreans. Re-settlers are the cornerstones of a bright unified future. Saejowi therefore continues to assist in their settlement, in the hopes that their successful settlement will contribute to the strength of a unified Korea. Thank you for your continued support throughout our 26 years of history. Yours and volunteers' enduring support and attention give us a new strength to push forward everyday. We hope you can continue working with us Thank you.

We need to truthfully declare how much we love another. If this is nationalism, then nationalism indeed, we declare, is the ideology that we should depend on for our liberation.
