Hannah McKeeth and CEMUJER
Hannah McKeeth will be working with AP's partner CEMUJER in San Salvador, El Salvador as a 2008 Peace Fellow. As a Fellow, she will help CEMUJER spread information that will inspire action against injustice and promote respect for the human rights of women and children through writing, networking, and using information communication technologies more effectively.
Hannah was born and brought up in Panama City, Panama. Her experiences growing up in Central America greatly influenced her understanding of society and development. Some of her various interests include bringing about justice where oppression is rampant, promoting understanding and reconciliation where conflict prevails, and befriending the marginalized where exclusion is the norm.
From Panama, she moved to Langley, BC, Canada, where she did her undergraduate studies at Trinity Western University in History and Political Studies. She is passionate about developing international community, appreciating beauty, and understanding human poverty. She enjoys hearing and telling people's stories and appreciates being in nature.
Upon graduation, she became a parent and community educator through Advocates Against Family Violence in southern Idaho. During that year she became aware of the complex issues surrounding domestic violence and challenges immigrants face as they try to make a way in the United States. After that year, she spent a year defining her passion for storytelling and clarifying her vision for her future through a fellowship with the Trinity Forum Academy.
Hannah is excited to be a part of The Advocacy Project gaining experience in advocacy for social change and listening to tell the human rights story in El Salvador while partnering with CEMUJER.
