Countries signatory to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child produce a biennial situational analysis of their children’s status. UNICEF contracted my partner and I to research and write Belize’s year 2000 report. The chapter resented here reflects the rights-based approach we applied – which UNICEF subsequently adopted as the contextual format for all reporting member-states. Link to chapter

I wrote and produced this land rights issues brochure for the American Indian Law Center on behalf of Mopan and Ke'kchi Maya in Belize, Central America. My collaboration with a locally renowned artist/cartoonist resulted in a pamphlet that helped to raise the level of national discussion and broaden increased intercultural understanding.
