Dear Family and Friends, first of all, sorry for the delay. Our i-ACT Team could not miss their flight. Thank you for waiting.
The team meets the leader of the Tama people living in the camp, and the grandmother of Ahmat, the boy from i-ACT 2005 who returned to Darfur to further his education. They also connect the 20 Women for Darfur group with a Darfuri woman, Aziza.
Action:
It may be the last day of our trip, but i-Act continues through your efforts. Step up your own activism to end this genocide now. What can you do to get more involved in your local community? Nationally? Internationally?
Here are few ideas:
Invite Gabriel to your school, college or other venue to host a Camp Darfur http://campdarfur.org. We will help set up an interactive camp experience!
Record video messages for refugees for From America with Love. Do a recording at a Camp Darfur, or make your own video and send it to us!
Make a daily commitment to: Wake up, Brush your Teeth, and Call the White House. 1-800-GENOCIDE.
Join a local group (or form one!) at your high school or college.
This fall Dream for Darfur http://www.dreamfordarfur.org/ is hosting International and US Torch Rallies http://www.dreamfordarfur.org/ to increase pressure on China, host of the 2008 Olympics to use their leverage with the Khartoum government. Find our when the torch will pass through your state http://www.dreamfordarfur.org/ or host one.
Peace,
i-ACT Team
