[hr-education-na] Students need your help to ratify CRC!

Dear List Members,

We are small group of students from The School for Human Rights in
Brooklyn, New York and we need your help. We are writing this letter
regarding our trip to Washington, D.C. We want to go to our nation’s
capital to attend the Summit on the Ratification of the Convention on the
Rights of the Child. By going to the Summit, we hope to raise awareness
about the Convention of the Rights of a Child (CRC) that we have been
studying in Advisory class. We have grown-up in problem areas of America
and see violations of Children’s rights all of the time. We know how
important it is for all countries to ratify the CRC to protect children
like us. Unfortunately, only two countries (The United States and Somalia)
haven’t ratified the CRC.
 
We are hoping for funding to send eight students to Washington D.C. The
total cost for each student is $450. Any donation amount will be highly
appreciated. The CRC is an international law that provides children with
many of their rights and we believe this is a cause worth fighting for.
 
Thank you for your time and please help us get to D.C.!!
