Reading more about Liberty in North Korea, here are some questions that I have which may be helpful for assessing the impact of a donation to LiNK:
Does Liberty in North Korea have room for more funding for more trips? If so, to what extent does marginal funding allow more people to travel to Southeast Asia with the help of LiNK?
Without Liberty in North Korea, what is the chance that a North Korean refugee would still be connected with someone to help them travel to Southeast Asia? If the trip costs something (as opposed to how LiNK rescues are free), how does this affect the quality of life for the refugee? Should we think of LiNK is helping people travel to Southeast Asia earlier or for free, rather than at all?
What is the chance of getting caught during the journey and getting sent to prison camp in North Korea? How long will they stay there? How many of their family members will be punished if they get caught?
By staying in China for an additional duration of time, what is the chance of getting caught and returned to North Korea?
What is the quality of life for a North Korean when in North Korea, inside a prison camp in North Korea, in China, in Southeast Asia, or in South Korea?
To what extent does offering free travel from China to Southeast Asia encourage additional people to try escaping from North Korea? What is the welfare impact for someone who attempts to escape North Korea?
