Highlights
"Sri Lanka hangs at an uneasy nexus of intertwined inflationary pressures . Incredibly, neighboring countries that presently far surpass Sri Lanka in wealth, such as Singapore, once looked to this island as a model society; but with each year the prolonged conflict draws more resources away from national development." - Adam Nord is supporting human rights and associated advocacy programs with the Home for Human Rights (HHR) in Sri Lanka.

About AP blogs
The fellows will write at least one weekly blog during their posting abroad. Their blogs help to bring alive the work of their hosts and allows them to communicate with friends, universities, and community groups back home that are following their work. Blogging has provided many AP fellows with an outlet for their hopes and frustrations. Several fellows have also used blogs to raise funds for their partners and their own travel costs.
Fellows who are currently on assignment are posting their own directly to these pages, and we invite visitors to comment on their blogs. The pages also carry past AP diaries and archived blogs (2003-2006) which are arranged by country, year and author (below and right). AP also publishes a weekly digest of blogs throughout the summer through our online news service. To subscribe send a blank email to advocacynet-subscribe@advocacylists.org. Biographies of fellows (past and present) are posted on these pages, and in the fellows section of this site.
