[M.T. Al-Mansouri, Ph.D.]

Sign up to write a letter on Human Rights Day. Thank you for signing up to Write for Rights on December 10th. Together with thousands of other letter writers across Canada and around the world, you’ll be making a difference for human rights. Please take a few minutes to tell us more about what you’re planning to do on December 10th. http://www.amnesty.ca/writeathon/ Sunday, December 6, 2009 at 2.00 to 4:30 p.m. In recognition of Human Rights Day. Come to the Ladies’ Parlour and write to, and on behalf of, prisoners of conscience-people who stand up for their own rights and for those of others. Paper, pens, and envelopes will be available as well as sample letters. A suggested donation of a twoonie ($2) per letter would be appreciated to cover the cost of postage. There will be a children’s corner for them to participate by sending greeting cards to prisoners of conscience and drawing pictures to be included with the cards. Refreshments provided. Sponsored by Southminister on behalf of Amnesty International. Last year Southminster congregants and guests 102 letters as part of the campaign. Help us do at least as well this year. “ We knew from your letters that we were not forgotten”- Ignatius Mahendra Wardhana.
