The next World Tour stop was Johannesburg, South Africa. The team arrived in the wee hours of the morning, were transported to the home of their hosts, freshened up and were off and running. First stop, the Summerhill School where students participated in a hands-on human rights project focused on “Building a better world with human rights.” Later, the President of YHRI, Mary Shuttleworth met with high-level government officials in the Department of Education and a UN organization in Pretoria.
The next day saw a magnificent event for YHRI hosted by the Church of
Scientology of Johannesburg with public officials, human rights advocates, Zulu dancers, beautiful and moving representations of human rights issues in poetry and drama, photographers and of course Mary Shuttleworth. The normally spacious African-themed chapel in the historic Church complex was packed—standing room only. Outstanding young people who’ve worked diligently to educate others about their human rights were appointed Youth Ambassadors of YHRI-Johannesburg. YHRI is proud of these young effective and courageous youth who work passionately to help others learn their human rights.
