4. HOW SAFE IS IT FOR ROTARIANS TO DO SERVICE PROJECTS IN NORTH KOREA?
The Koreans take very good care of their hosts. So good that you won’t be let out of their sight but the corollary is that they are always looking after you and you probably will not have had such care since you were a toddler. (try to recall that).
Physical crime is out of the question but if you travel outside of Pyongyang you will encounter fewer creature comforts and this could be an inconvenience and not advisable for people with health conditions who may need medical care.

8. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN DOING A SERVICE PROJECT IN NORTH KOREA?
Communication. It is very difficult to establish communicate but it is even harder to maintain it. Most North Koreans are shut off from contact with people outside the country - and those that have contact are restricted. It takes patience and persistence to keep the lines of communication open and to overcome any cross-cultural conflicts.
