My Experience At Pyongyang University Of Science And Technology, North Korea

Please note before watching:This is just an account of my time at PUST during the summer of 2014. It is a collection of photos portraying the unforgettable experience I had integrating with these students on a daily basis. It may not appeal to everybody as life at PUST is pretty routine. I just felt it was necessary to show people the wonderful work being done at PUST. If you have a genuine interest in this, you will enjoy it.

July 2014 will forever be etched in my memory as a month that gave me a whole new perspective on life. I have been working in at Kyungpook National University in South Korea for four years, but earlier this year, I was given the opportunity to teach at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, in North Korea.It was an unpaid volunteering opportunity but the rewards were much bigger than any pay check I will ever receive.

There is a lot of promise in North Korea and I witnessed it firsthand as I interacted with a group of students at PUST that are beyond a justified description.They are the future of North Korea and PUST provides a window to the outside world for these students. It provides hope and that is the first step to reformation.

When I arrived at PUST, I had no idea what to expect. From the moment I stepped onto the campus grounds until the day I left four weeks later, it was an absolute pleasure to be there.
