 Dear Colleagues

 I am responding to Sarah's inquiry as to whether there are any HRE
activities taking place in Lesotho, Mozambique and other countries
that are not mentioned in Karin's group in Southern Africa. I am a
curriculum officer at the National Curriculum Development Centre
(NCDC) in Lesotho.

 In Lesotho, we have integrated human rights and democracy education
issues in our curriculum materials from Grade 3 to Grade 10 levels.
The materials that I am referring to are teaching and learning
syllabuses, teachers guides and manuals as well as pupils' textbooks.
These initiatives were further strengthened by the UNESCO sponsorship
of a pilot project of Education for Human Rights and Democracy (EHRD)
that ran concurrently in Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland in 2004-2005
at the primary level. More materials were developed and
institutionalisation nationwide of HRE took place thanks to the
project.

 We do however believe that with more networking regionally and
internationally, we could advance the programme to another level.

 Thanks. Best Regards to all Global HRE list members.
