Human Rights Day
http://www.amnestyusa.org/writeathon/?c=bloggers
December 10, 2010
Objective:
Celebrate Human Rights Day by using the proven tool of writing letters to save lives.
Each year hundreds of thousands of people across the world mark International Human Rights Day on December 10 by taking part in Amnesty International's Write for Rights Global Write-a-thon - the world's largest letter writing event. We write letters to demand that the rights of individuals are respected, protected and fulfilled. In doing so, we show solidarity with those suffering human rights abuses and work to bring about real change in people's lives.

10/07/10 Human Rights
by: Veggielover99
Do not forfeit your right to live
With peaceful joy, with tears and laughter,
With purpose and view of the ever after,
Learn how to love and how to give.
Do not forfeit your right to live…
Do not pay homage to rage, to sorrow,
Save a few memories for tomorrow,
In every moment play your part!
For glory do not forsake your heart…
Embrace the NOW with delight!
To love, do not forfeit your right…
Do not forfeit your happiness…
Don’t live your life in token’s shadow

9/11/10 Let's teach our children
by: monicasacco
"Only knowledge will make us free". So, let's teach our children what they have the right to know: their rights, our rights. The rights of human kind, those of animals and mostly, the rights of Nature. The sooner we understand how to respect ourselves and our environment, the better for the entire planet.
