CIEE and ENGAGE have posted the working draft of the "Voices from the Margin: Surin Organic Agriculture" Human Rights report on to the Wiki page. Please take a look at the report to learn more about the current situation regarding the loss of indigenous rice seed varieties and the environmental health impacts from the spraying of chemical pesticides and herbicides in Tamor Subdistrict. During the Fall 2008 Semester, CIEE Khon Kaen students came to work with villagers on improving an existing report on human rights violations in Surin. Using the ESCR framework, the students completed the reports in about one month and presented them to the National Human Rights Commission with representatives from affected communities throughout Isaan. These reports will be useful tools in the future efforts of communities like SFS farmers here in Surin.
