We crossed the Atlantic, and Chris and I are now sitting in Air France’s salon, one of the benefits of having a sister (Teresa) that’s in the travel business. I know that it is not exactly good preparation for the camp environment we’re headed to, but relaxing here in the first class lounge, drinking a diet soda, is not bad at all.
I slept another five hours in the flight from Atlanta, so I’m catching up on rest, and I’m excited about reaching Africa later today.
I received quite a few e-mail’s today, most of them from students at Palisades High, in Pacific Palisades, CA. Thank you for all the support. Pali High is a force in youth activism, and I know that we’ll be making some serious NOISE together.
While you’re here online, do a quick google of Darfur and read the current news about the crisis. Then, tell friends, family, and the person in front of what is happening. First awareness, then action.
See you from Africa!

Hi guys,
I can’t wait to get the news from Africa. Thanks for all that you are doing to try to help bring an end to the horrific situation the people of Darfur are faced with. Keep safe.
Hello Gabriel,
I was just at Pali and we all tried to figure out where you are right now, and we think you must be flying into Africa by now. We are excited to read your first message from Chad!
We are with you!!!!

Hi Gabriel,
My name is Jake and I’m in Ms. Pereyra’s class at Pali. I really enjoyed your presentation and it enlightened me more about the issue, beyond what Ms. Pereyra had already told us. I hope your appearance in the Palisadian Post will spread the word about the issue even more. I wish you the best of luck on your journey there, and once you get there. I look forward to the video feed you’ll be setting up.
Peace,
Jake
