Good afternoon, human rights advocates,

Welcome to August! This summer has just flown by, hasn’t it? I can hardly believe we’re almost at the end of summer. It’s kind of exciting (I love fall) but a little sad (I love summer as well). What’s your favorite season?

Today’s article is about an incredible activist named Aung San Suu Kyi, a woman who spent years under house arrest for standing up for human rights. You can read the article here:

Be sure to drop by the forum if you have time and give your opinion about a discussion that’s been going on: What’s the difference between civil rights and human rights?
