Saturday in Khayelitsha, by Erin Runnalls

Location: Cape Town, South Africa

Fellow law student, Sarah Hudson and I spent our IHRP Summer Internships in Cape Town, South Africa. Our internship's mandate was the protection and promotion of children's rights in South Africa. We helped the Pinocchio Crèche, an impoverished daycare centre, develop a sustainable administrative, financial and legal infrastructure; assisted at Black Sash, a women's resistance organisation during apartheid that has reinvented itself as a legal aid clinic in the new South Africa; and, volunteered at the Christine Revell Children's Home for children who have been abandoned, abused or orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
