Now that I know more about my organization, I think that their work is making a positive impact on the 90 countries that they help out because they are helping them fight for their rights that they deserve
2. I wonder how long it takes for them to  help out a whole country on getting the rights that they deserve
3. One challenge that my organization faces is the governments of those countries that try to go against the organization and the organization has to figure out a way to get by them so that they can help people that are in need
4. My organizations greatest strength is their fact finding because they're really good at finding evidence and facts about things that are going on in different places and they publish them so that other people can see what's going on and they can also help out
5. My organizations greatest weakness is choosing which places to help out or to focus on because a lot of places need help and they could only do so much that it takes time to help out other places]]> 2018-11-15 18:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304950959 141000970 https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304951428 I chose this organization because it was really interesting on what they do to help out other countries that are fighting for human rights.  They help many refugees, children, and political prisoners from different places.  They also stop human rights abusers and they go against governments that don’t give the rights to people that they deserve. This organization helps out many people each year and they are known for their excellent fact finding.  They are also a non-governmental organization which helps them so that the government doesn’t take charge of it and do whatever they want with that organization.  They help out many places that are in need because of people that abuse their human rights.  Another thing is that this organization is funded by other organizations and by the Better Business Bureau which helps them a lot in their research funds. This organization has done so much for many people and that’s why I chose it.]]> 2018-11-15 18:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304951428 141000970 https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304954434 “Human Rights Watch.” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 25 Oct. 2018, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Watch.]]> 2018-11-15 18:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304954434 141000970 https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304954804 “Human Rights Watch (HRW).” Ngomonitor, www.ngo-monitor.org/ngos/human_rights_watch_hrw_/.]]> 2018-11-15 18:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304954804 141000970 https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304956633 “Our History.” Human Rights Watch, 26 Mar. 2014, www.hrw.org/our-history.]]> 2018-11-15 18:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/141000970/o9zq1vksa54f/wish/304956633
