Stop Genocide NowGabriel co-founded Stop Genocide Now in 2005, which gave birth to i-ACT in 2009.
He became involved in the situation in Darfur out of a sense of personal responsibility. He believes the power of community and compassion, combined with personal empowerment, can bring about meaningful change.
i-ACT Day 1 means the start of a ten day marathon of non-stop activity. It’s been busy pre-i-ACT, but now it goes to another level. For Day 1, I get up at 6am and start getting ready to head out to Camp Kounoungou. We head out on a convoy with security from the local authorities. […]
Hello Cynthia! Yes, I’m very much looking forward to coming to Atlanta. Yes, we will do all that we can to say safe, given the situation in the area. When we got off of the plane here in Guereda, the pilot told us, “You’ve been given a security briefing, right? You know how bad this […]
Shiroma, my sista!!! Have a nice glass of Oregon pinot for me! If Jeff is attending, ask him to provide homemade hummus and deviled eggs! Haha! I was so excited to see your comment and was thinking of you just yesterday! I have heard that the roads have been icy, and yes, I brought sunblock, […]
UNHCR Guest House, Guereda Dogs have not stopped barking since we got back to the guesthouse in Guereda. Hala is a wonderful host. It gives me a warm feeling to be meeting people that now know us, and must believe that what we are doing is right because they treat us as family. I enjoyed […]
If have not done it yet, please sign the petition that asks President Bush to do more for Darfur. This is not about politics. It’s about humanity.

Thanks for always spreading the word and for being a boost of energy for me.Hola Antonio!Thanks for the words of encouragement and for always staying active. You’re a doer […]
It’s cold up here. I have my SGN hoodie on and two shirts, but the cold still seeps through to my skin. We’re on a nine-seater, twin-engine “Beechcraft 200.” I’m reading this from a little pamphlet on the seat pocket, since I know nothing about planes. Mubarak arrived late for us at our hotel. We […]
N’Djamena It was so nice to see Ann at UNHCR in N’Djamena again. She is just getting back from leave and told us how “Chad is home,” and she likes coming home. Talking with Ann, you can feel her passion and immediately know that her job is not just a job for her. She has […]
Hello Lars! It’s great to see your name and comment. I still feel so attached to our O.net family and miss everyone a lot. We are definitely coming with the intention of deepening our relationships and making these relationships count now. There are so many people that want to help! We want to go beyond […]
