Dear Colleague,

 

I am writing as the director of the Oak Institute for Human Rights at Colby College to ask for your help in our search for a 2014 Oak Fellow.

 

The formal announcement is in our brochure, which is attached as a PDF file. You can also access it and additional information about the Oak Institute at our website:

http://www.colby.edu/oak.

Every fall, we host a human rights activist doing on-the-ground work at some level of personal risk and organize a series of programs around her or his area of expertise. The Fellowship is designed to give that activist a respite from her or his difficult work and spend a semester in residence at the College, exposing our community to the human rights issues on

which the Fellow works.

 

The fellowship has a different geographical or thematic focus each year. This year, we are looking for an activist working on GENDER AND HUMAN RIGHTS.

 

In conducting our annual search, we rely heavily on nominations from NGOS, academics, journalists, and human rights lawyers, since these are the people most likely to know of the work of on-the-ground activists.

 

Since you and your organization have been actively involved in human rights work, I would like to solicit your help in disseminating the announcement to your members and supporters. Please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone in the field who could help us.

 

We appreciate any assistance you might provide. Thank you!

 

Walter Hatch

Director, The Oak Institute for Human Rights
