Jonathan Wong (seated center), Intern from Human Rights Internet

"I am very happy (and relieved) to have been involved with a well-focused organization with a serious commitment to putting things (such as human rights declarations and conventions, and recommendations from workshop participants) into action. "Putting things into action" is the essence of ARRC and is a large factor for its on-going success. I will carry this philosophy with me in my quest for social justice long after I have finished my work with ARRC."
