WELCOME!

This is the first ever Amnesty International club at Burlington High School. This blog will be to post meeting summaries, notices, and calls to action as we receive them. We will also post any of our own efforts on this blog in the form of pictures and video, if available. 

Amnesty International is an independent worldwide organization dedicated to the cause of helping those who cannot help themselves. Refugees. Genocide's next victims. Right now, for example: the civilians of Gaza, and the people in Darfur, Sudan. We want to raise the awareness of our peers. And we want to contribute what time and effort and money we have to help these people.
