Foundation for Moral Courage candidate search

The Foundation for Moral Courage will focus their search for a 20005 candidate for their moral courage awards on the African Continent. "As a frame of reference for this year's candidate, we will appreciate your help in identifying an individual from an African nation who can best be described as unknown or ordinary as opposed to a known political figure. The candidate should have engaged in activities over a sustained period of time in support of human rights, environmental rights, or social activities not attributed to his/her employment, and at great personal risk. Candidates could be volunteers involved in protesting injustice toward individuals, communities or environmental resources. Within this overview, it is probable that your organization will be able to identify and refer to us many well qualified candidates. We should receive your nominations with supporting documentation prior to May 1, 2005, to allow our Board to evaluate the information and make its decision by June 1, 2005. Your thoughts are always welcome. Laurence de Bure Event Coordinator Foundation for Moral Courage 1800 K Street, N.W. Suite 1120 Washington, D.C. 20006 Tel. (202) 429-9320 Fax. (202) 659-2667"
