• A Genocide We Can Stop:: Darfur, Sudan

  

  I have written  and posted many entries about Darfur in my
  xanga. For those of you visiting my site for the first time, this can
  be quite confusing. Genocide? What? Where?

  For your conveniance, I have summarized a few links to make things a bit easier.

  A group of students from the "Justice Team," a subgroup of our college fellowship Asian American Campus Ministry, launched a week long campaign: "Darfur Awareness Week".  Visit our xanga!

  
  What YOU can do to help Darfur...
  
  

  1)Contact your Congressmen/Senators!
  Call them! Write a letter! Tell them YOU care about this genocide in
  Darfur and ask them what they're doing about it? [Sample letters and
  outlines will be posted shortly.]

  2)Raise awareness by handing out
  flyers, planning presentations and simply telling people about the
  genocide in Darfur! Organize your own event in your
  city/school/organization to raise awareness!

  3) Donate to Medicines San Frontiers (Doctors without Borders). Provide humanitarian relief to the people of Darfur!

  4) Support 'Save Darfur' by buying a wristband at www.SaveDarfur.org !

  5) Pray , Pray, Pray!
