Linden High School students from the ESL Leadership project and Friends Beyond Borders participated in Kean University’s 7th Annual Conference on Human Rights.  This year the conference focused on the themes of rebuilding lives and communities after war.  Students also visited an art exhibit that taught about the impact of  land mines that continue to threaten the safety and security of millions of people long after wars have ended.
