In hopes of raising awareness about the reality of genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan, Sam writes every Monday about a key issue in an attempt to stop the atrocity. Doing so may not bring about a wave of change, but it is a small ripple that represents the tide that needs turning.
Take 5 minutes and educate yourself today about Darfur. Things continue to be critical, and it's important that each person takes the initiative to know about what's happening in Darfur (since American media obviously won't do this for you).
I recommend the following sites that I stumbled upon this morning:
- Oil Is Behind Struggle in Darfur
- Global Day for Darfur
- Wikipedia: Darfur Conflict
- Darfur is Dying
- Darfur: A Genocide We Can Stop
- Human Rights First
There are a million things that need to be done, and all of them begin with your awareness.
