Sunday! Fine day Sunday!
How’s everyone doing? Great? No? Not so much? Anyway, I’m doing okay lately. Not too good and not too bad and that’s all because I’m back to blogging. Yes, this is probably the only place I can let go and be myself. If you’re wondering, I do have other blogs which is more personalized than this one. This is my advocacy blog and that’s why I’m updating it.
For the past week I have put on the spotlight the HUMAN RIGHTS VICTIMS CLAIMS BOARD. And today, I will tell you their list of requirements.
