shared experiences	Raha Jorjani United States "I came to Street Law seeking a better understanding of South African society through human rights work. I left with not only that, but with the chance to have accessed spaces that I otherwise would not have. It did not take long to realise that Street Law was the kind of place where ideas soon become realities…and for me, its not just about what you say you want to do but what you do. Street Law will stick out in my mind as always having one leg out in communities and working with people to make human rights a relevant part of their lives."
