UN Event

I spent a lot of this week working on a completely new grant proposal. This new proposal was made for our office. IBJ's India office has been around for nearly 10 years but for the last 5 years. Despite these hurdles, our program manager is still able to meet the requirements of the law. We have to pay attention when we spend the time in prison because they are unable to pay $ 20 processing fee to get out. Despite being costly for the indian government they thing keep people imprisoned. In writing this proposal I dove deep into the statistics and work we have been able to accomplish. 

I also had to write a formal report on my trip to Cambodia and make altercations to our previous grant proposal to. Address of the people of the UNDEF who reviewed our proposal.

On the 25 thIBJ held a big event at the United Nations. The event was a collaboration between IBJ and the African Caribbean Pacific Group of States. The goal of the event is to work with the world of torture and the fight against torture. The event was really cool, we brought together ambassadors, politicians, NGO's, and local high school students to talk and discuss some of the issues, solutions, and institutional hurdles to those solutions. We organize the event to the roundtables that we invite you to visit. IBJ uses the world to facilitate communication between judges, lawyers, policemen, and members of the community.

This weekend I spend the whole time in Starbucks working on apps and getting work done. I was painfully reminded about how I was stuck sweating indoors, it was bright and sunny and incredibly hot.
