Category: i-ACT 1: Nov 21 – Dec 10, 2005
Join Gabriel and Chis on i-ACT’s first trip to Chad. For 21 consecutive days, the Genocide Intervention Fund (GIF) and StopGenocideNow.org will webcast the immediacy of the ongoing genocide in Darfur directly from the field with the new awareness campaign i-ACT (Interactive Activism).
i-ACT will travel to the Chad/Dafur border and visit refugee camps. Along with technical assistance from volunteers, they will use the power of the Internet to put a face to the mind-numbing numbers of dead, dying and displaced.
