In honor of the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) is again circling the globe, now on its sixth annual World Tour. The exciting World Tour 2009 includes Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Columbia, Jordan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Timor-Leste and Uganda.

This year's team, including Dr. Mary Shuttleworth, President and Founder of YHRI, launched World Tour 2009 from Los Angeles on March 22nd. Human rights supporters in Mexico City, the first stop of this year's twelve-country tour, welcomed the team as they began their action-packed agenda of actions geared to forward human rights education in Mexico.

Meetings were held with private and governmental organizations which share YHRI's purpose to bring human rights education to the children of Mexico. These resulted in major support for YHRI and added to the excitement of visits with schoolchildren and educators.

The World Tour 2009 arrived then in Barbados.
The YHRI Barbados chapter now represents the 84th country to join YHRI. Hosted by Rev. Michael Steele, the World Tour 2009 team had a packed agenda of meetings with high-level officials planned, in addition to special events for youth. Reverend Michael A. Steele of Hope Transplant Ministries was appointed honorary ambassador for Youth for Human Rights International in Barbados. Reverend Steele will continue to work with the local community to promote human rights education and get YHRI's booklets and public service announcements even more widely distributed on the island.

"Human Rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream" - L. Ron Hubbard.
We all together can make Human Rights a reality.
