Since a decade, I am actively involved in protecting the human rights of common masses through policy formulation and action programme. I a equally footing my effort towards conflict transformation and peace building through the human right protection and building peace in the conflict ravaged country Nepal.
I want to join the short course on human rights offered by your organization. Being a national of a developing country and working in my original country, Nepal I am not in the position to cover the cost related to tuition and travel. Therefore, I would like to request you to properly guide me to explore fnancial support.

Thanks Shrawan for your comment and request. As you could notice we’re in the beginning of our project, so I’m not able to answer to you by now. We need to look for some sponsors in order to have scolarships. About the costs of travel I really don’t know how to get some support for that. Where do you live?
Anyway, send me more information about your organization.
Keep in touch,

The United People in Brasil (UP) Project has successfully begun with several activities, one of the highlights being the Humans Rights League- Itinerant Project in one tiny North Coast municipality and The World Social Forum, where we were introduced to the edu-game, an approach for the democratic participation in a globalised world.
It was very stimulating to see people from all walks of life debating the challenges brought by globalisation.

Good to know it was stimulating and hope empowering too. So, let’s continue. The next course will be July/August 2010.
