Taylor P's weekend highlight was meeting different people

This past weekend we went away for a human rights retreat at a farm basically in the middle of nowhere. Aside from the amazing home cooked meals and frequent tea times, I learned a lot from Vincent, Brilliant and Faith, our instructors for the weekend. Previous to this weekend I only had basic knowledge about human rights and the fact that everyone had them. I learned about the several ways that our rights can be and are violated each day. However, the highlight was the different people that I met from several different backgrounds, countries and cultures. I met people from Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Holland amongst other places. It was insane how many people that I spoke with and the stories that they told me. At one point Vincent asked everyone to go up and write human rights in whatever language they spoke. If I remember correctly there were about 11 different languages, which is crazy to me. It actually makes me wish that I knew a language aside from English.
