    Has this experience contributed to making you want to explore human rights issues in the future? Would you want to explore this field more as a career path? If not, how can you take what you have learned from this experience and apply it to any path you choose in life?

  2. Awesome work, Salat! I’m glad you had a fruitful summer despite the travel restrictions. I’m really impressed with the amazing job you did (and continue to do) on human rights and advocacy.
