**Now that you've had time to look at these websites, post on the blog the group that you are interested in learning more about, the group that you want to focus on for this assignment. Similar to what you did for the last blog assignment, you want to include the following in your post:
- The name of the group (remember, you want this to be a specific group in a specific country, etc.)
- Answer the following questions in 3-4 sentences.
- Who are these people?
- What do you know about them?
- Where are they from?
- What is happening to them that prevents them from having a voice?
- Why is this a group that others need to know about?
