Internet access has been spotting during this trip but there are still
lots of actions and news stories in this week's Update. We received our
first post about this year's Write for Rights Campaign which we will
post much more information about this important letterwriting campaign
in future Weekly Updates. Also check out the surprise vote in Colombia
and some of the articles written about this event. Congratulations to Juan Manuel Santos for winning the Nobel Peace Prize while trying to broker this peace agreement. Although the agreement failed to win the vote of the people, he was re-elected.
Thanks to our contributors. I'm trying to keep on top of all of the posts submitted.
