Mrs. Emmerson, who is a member of the Board for Human Rights Watch  joined us to explain about her role and how the non-governmental organization dedicated to research and advocacy on human rights works around the world.

This was particularly relevant to Grade 5 who had studied a Unit of Inquiry on Human Rights and were able to ask some very deep questions. Mrs. Emmerson also talked about the Human Rights aspect of being a refugee, which was a an excellent way to introduce our theme for Thursday's focus.
