Our last post focused on some easy tips to get the most out of the WWH Blog, and how best to use it to attract volunteers. If you missed it,
you can read it here.
In this post we wanted to give you some key examples of great blogging from some of the very talented members of the WWH Community. We try and share as many of the blogs as we can on the
WWH Facebook and Twitter accounts, so please bring any to our attention that you think are great!
As always, we encourage comments and replies, and would love to know what you think!

This great blog from the
Organization of African Youth discusses an event the organization was involved in that examined
Human Rights and Sexual Violence in Schools. We really like the photo of the artwork at the event!

"The open discussions started with an opening address from the Rapporteur from the Regional Office of the National Commission of Human Rights and Freedom, Buea, South West Region. He dwelled on identifying and dealing with violence in school environment. This discussion was focused on introducing Human Rights to the participants."
Sometimes the best blogs are about painting a picture. This great post from
Otra Cosa Network in Peru, shows just how impactful setting the scene can be. The photos on this entry are also great, they really help us imagine being there!

"It was a Monday early morning, we took the bus from Huanchaco and in few minutes, we were entering the shantytown Las Lomas. When in the school, one of the teachers gathered all the kids in the schoolyard to start the week by a prayer, singing the national anthem, and saying a few words about the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women."
Finally, we really love reading the reflections and insights of volunteers themselves, and this one by Tarren from Australia is a really great example. It clearly lays out what his impressions of India were and what he got up to at the
iSpiice project.

"Admittedly nervous at first due to the language barrier (i.e knowing approximately 5 Hindi words) I began my Volunteer Programs. My first two hours of the day were spent at a nearby Child Care Centre with 8-12 toddlers teaching them to count, the alphabet, nursery rhymes and playing ball games."
