One block north of the LICADHO office on Street 99.

The neighborhood in which LICADHO is located is full of carpentry shops. This entire block is nothing but workshops with stacks of wood and all manner of saws and woodworking tools.

Two things of note in this picture: the moto-trailer in the foreground and the poster for "special muscle wine" pasted on the side of the building (take a closer look).

The Rock: a local nightclub. We visited this place a few weeks ago and walked in to find they were playing the movie "The Rock" on a large screen -- very fitting.

An "evening stroll" along the riverfront to show solidarity with victims who have been evicted from their homes and land.

Hi Katie
Did you do an internship in LICADHO?
How did you get the internship position there? Is it was through your university?
I wrote them but they told me "we have no placements available for you." :( I dont know if they said so by my qualifications or because it´s necessary any kind of agreement with the universities.
How was your case?
