NEW FREE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SERVICE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS NGOS


Derechos Human Rights is pleased to announce the creation of a new program
designed to help NGOs find and access needed information from the world
wide web.

The internet has now become a primary source for information of all kinds.
International organizations, governments, news media and non-profit groups
are publishing a great deal of their  materials on the web.  Much of this
material can be of great use for human rights groups, but the high costs
of telephone communications in most countries make surfing the web
prohibitively expensive for many.  In addition, many groups lack the
know-how and/or the time, necessary for finding the information they seek.

The Surf for Human Rights Program provides human rights NGOs with free
web-searching services. When a human rights NGO sends a request for
information to the program, volunteer surfers will search the internet for
the information, and will send the results to the NGO via e-mail. All
Human Rights NGOs are invited to take advantage of this free service. If
your organization is interested in using it, please sign up by completing
the form below and sending it too surf@derechos.org or on the web at
http://www.derechos.net/actions/surf/signup.html

You will then receive more information about the program (also available
at http://www.derechos.net/actions/surf/ngos.html), as well as the address
to which you should send your requests.

If you have any questions, please e-mail us at surf@derechos.org
