What can I do?

 

You asked what can be done?  Let me just give you a starter list:

1.Inform yourselves – read The Translator  by Daoud Hari  and other books on Darfur, research on the internet, watch films like Darfur Now, and 3 Points  http://www.hulu.com/watch/93512/3-points , and the Devil Came On Horseback.  check out http://freedocumentaries.org/


2.Gather people together ( even 1 or 2 friends)  to brainstorm on what you can do. Plan to meet once or twice a month. Form a club.  Check out Standnow.org

3.Get the world out to others though things like Facebook and Myspace and any other internet tool, put links on your pages to Darfur stuff

4.Call 1-800-genocide. Pick a day each week when you and your friends will call and get acquainted with the different people in the offices of your senators and representatives, the LA's (Legislative Assistants) in charge of foreign affairs.

5.Pick a day each week to wear a darfur t-shirt.  Design your own, have a contest. Anytime you wear a darfur t-shirt think about how glad the people of Darfur are not to be forgotten!  And what an honor it is for us to help be a voice for them where they can't speak!  (We never want it to be a responsibility, rather we have the ability to respond!)

6.Raise money for the children in the camps.Check out http://rocknraise.org/ to build a school for the children ofDarfur.

7.Join in with other students  around America  and send an eraser to the white house this  April

 Learn more  at http://erasegenocide.org/ and watch some highschool student video productions.

8.Get acquainted with someone new at school.  Someone you might not normally hang out with. Pick a day each week that you will be sure and meet someone new or talk with someone you have not talked with in a long time.

Remember we can make a difference at home and abroad at the same time!

THIS IS ONLY A STARTER LIST
