A wonderful man, Trevor Huddleston. So caring to my family when we were in exile in the UK when I was a boy, & exchanged letters with me for years afterwards.

He lived his vow of poverty with conviction - only had a few books & basic possessions. But so generous to others.

The #InternationalHumanRightsLaw Summer School offers you the opportunity to experience life in an #Oxford college. This year the course will take place in the beautiful surroundings of #NewCollege .
