Profile Information

Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs): I graduated from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA in May 2011. While there,I studied International Affairs (Comparative Politics Track, European Studies Concentration) and minored in Spanish. During my four years at JMU I was able to study for a semester in Salamanca, Spain and, during the summer of 2010, I interned for Freedom House, Europe. Since then, I have become increasingly interested in the work of Non-governmental Organizations, especially those that focus on human rights and freedoms. I am now looking to gain more experience in the field and would really like to explore NGOs that advocate for human rights through legal processes.

Please pardon me but I'm looking to "connect" as part of the initiative with a movie I just completed. You can see info at www.Thecongressmansdinner.com & www.facebook.com/Thecongressmansdinner. The movie discusses much re the topics of American Foreign Aid, Student Loans, Oil Company Subsides, Fair Trade and a US Department of Peace with much discussed re the Middle East all in the context of “how to make the world a fairer and even better place.” I hope you may be interested. Thank you Bob Di Cerbo
