What is SAHRDC you may ask? It is the South Asian Human Rights Documentation Centre, and that is where I work. This last week has felt very long, and yet as if it flew by. We got a bunch of new interns. We now have about a dozen. Adam (from Oxford), Dan (my flatmate from Australia), Jolee, Monique (also from Australia), Jessi, Mariyam, Adrianna, Nadia, Curry, and Lilly. Adam, Monique, Jolee, and Jessi arrived before me, and the rest around the same time or after. We have done so much!
