Amnesty International (6 hours Service) (Term 1)

In the first Term, I took part in a charity organisation called Amnesty International. This group fight for the rights of humans and often, we had large discussions on certain controversial topics such as Guantanamo Bay and other violations of human rights. In addition, we held a charity carwash on a weekend to raise money for the Haiti fundraiser later on in 2010. I really enjoyed being a part of something bigger and got me thinking on how the money raised could be used where it was being sent. Overall, taking part in this different activity opened my eyes to the point of views that human rights protesters have, as well as the atrocities that are occurring in our world today.
