[gallery] From November 25 to December 10, the International Rescue Committee is observing the “16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence.” You can read all of our 16 Days blog posts here.

Our friends at the ONE campaign just blogged this story from Burundi, about how the IRC helped Celine and her family, returning refugees who were faced with the prospect of starting their lives over with little more than what they had brought back with them from exile.  You can read it here on the ONE blog.

I am doing a research project on the IRC, it has been wonderful to learn about how they operate and what programs they have commenced. The three programs I choose to research were Anti-trafficking, Resettling refugees, and Youth Protection. I love reading this blog , eversince I did this project I love reading the stories and articles posted here and learning what is going on in the world, keep it up IRC i love you!

p.s. i know some people who were affected by hurricane katrina (the IRC helped with that right?)i wonder if you helped them!? Coolio Keep up the AWESOME work, you guys rock and have very LARGE hearts!
