The first of these messages, released in late 2005, have been screened to more than 130 million people.“ YHRI also publishes the UNITED Human Rights Handbook, providing educators and leaders with a practical tool with which to teach human rights to the young.“ YHRI works with human rights advocates, legislators, teachers, police and humanitarians to encourage young people to learn and champion human rights.“ There are many opportunities for you to support this vital campaign to educate youth about Human Rights.” For more information please visit: www.YouthForHumanRights.org www.YouthForHumanRights.org.uk The youngster, Niki Lanik, has always been racing for good-will causes and human rights. |
