Looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes. Kofi Mfum E-mail:kofi@mfum.fsnet.co.uk ---------- LOOKING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS INFORMATION HANDLING COURSE FOR DOCUMENTALIST Dear Sir/ Madam I am a man aged twenty-nine and employed by the Human Rights Trust of Southern Africa as an Information Officer/ Documentalist. My organization was established in 1997 under a deed of Trust. Its focus is to promote human rights in Southern Africa. In this regard the Trust focuses on mainstreaming human rights within public institutions in its quest to fulfill the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004) and the Vienna declaration of Human Rights (1993) which call upon states to introduce human rights education in all their institutions. As the Information Officer I established the human rights resource centre to cater for the needs of academics, researchers, and the general public. I am therefore requesting for assistance to get training in the human rights field. I will be glad if you can put my application into your considerations. Thank you Onward Murove Information Officer E-mail: omurove@yahoo.com ---------- REQUEST FOR SCHOLARSHIP (DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO) Dear sir, I am seeking a scholarship for the pursuit of my studies. I'm a young congolese (DRC) currently in refuge in Uganda. I fled some incidences in my country Congo which force me to take refuge in Uganda. Before coming in Uganda I was a student at CUB (centre universitaire de Bukavu) in the department of Geologie and Mineralogie where I did two years. Now, for lack of money, I'm in impossibility to continue with my studies. Hope for favourable answer to my request. I thank you in advance for your help. Yours faithfully, NYUNDO MUSHARA E-mail: nyundo1975@yahoo.com ---------- SEEKING INFORMATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR PRISONS OFFICERS (KENYA) Dear Colleagues, The Standing Committee on Human Rights (Kenya) is a government appointed national human rights institution charged with investigating allegations of human rights abuse and recommend appropriate action. The Committee also has a mandate of human rights education, monitoring and promotion. We have been approached by the Prisons Authority in Kenya to help them develop a Training Manual on Human Rights for Prisons Officials. We have started on the venture.
