Fahamu Refugee Legal Aid is looking for students trained in representing refugees to dedicate their summers or spring breaks to working in Uganda and elsewhere in Africa where Rwandan refugees are in critical need to legal aid. The work done will be part of the campaign to stop the invocation of the Cessation Clause for Rwandans. While the campaign has been partially successful there is still need for legal representation.
For a proposal from the Refugee Law Project that will help frame the project, please e-mail CLSR Fellow Sarah Herbert at sarah.m.herbert@nesl.edu.
Those students interested and financially able to volunteer this summer in Uganda can e-mail Namusobya Salima at snamusobya@gmail.com. Those who wish to go elsewhere to assist Rwandans may e-mail Dr. Barbara E. Harrell-Bond, the director of the Fahamu Refugee Programme at barbara.harrellbond@gmail.com.
