YPT Tours Manager Rowan Beard visits the Pyongyang Centre for the Deaf and Blind.

As tourism has grown over the years in North Korea, so has the interest of foreigners wanting to leave a positive impact after their visit. It was with this in mind that we initially thought of the idea to sponsor a deaf kindergarten and the deaf & blind centre in Pyongyang.

In 2015, we met Robert Grund, the Pyongyang representative of the World Federation of the Deaf, the director of TOGETHER-Hamhung charity and Pyongyang’s only deaf foreign resident. He established the first kindergarten for the deaf in Pyongyang’s Moranbong District, wholly paid for and funded by a small German non-profit Disabled Persons Organization.

Robert has long championed the needs of deaf children in the DPRK. He first came to the country in 2004, just after finishing school, and has kept coming back, despite the many challenges thrown in his way. His efforts have resulted in an association for the deaf and the participation of North Koreans in the International Congress for the Deaf.

As a travel company that has been visiting the DPRK for over 10 years, Young Pioneer Tours have often contributed to various appeals and charities. We are proud to support the deaf kindergarten and the deaf & blind centre as a proactive way to give back to the people and improve the lives of the citizens of the DPRK.
