Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently

well first of all i know that i'm one day late with the assigment but he thing is that i had problems with my internet at my house.

in my internship me and my partner susana, we are doing a project about two different countries that have a war or have an internal conflict. my partner choose afghanistan and i choose my country colombia.

The point of doing this is to figure out the different humans right s violations, and the organization in were i am working, they try to enforce and protect the human rights by talking to the president of the country or by doing humanitarian help to the country.
what i'm doing is searching for the human rights violations that are happening in colombia. such as using kids in the illegal guerrilla and also the displacement of poor people out of the land because of the war betwen the leftist guerrilla and the paramilitaries and the colombian army.
