Tony, Hi, hope all is well with you. Thanks for following up on the actions.

Gabriel and Stacey have brought us their last video of the trip. They explain the dire humanitarian crisis and the need for the world to bring lasting peace to Darfur.

It is not enough to keep treating the wounds, as Stacey says. We need to act to make sure the violence ends. This is our non-negotiable demand.
Action

- What did you like most about i-ACT? The least?
- Would you like us to bring Camp Darfur to your hometown?

I have, however, noticed that flying has become easier and that I’ve actually been able to look out of the window several […]
Dear Stacey’s Mom: Another great quote from Elie Wiesel. Thank you so much. Hi Tere: Yes, even the simple things are pretty complicated out here, and now even more, with all of the chaos on both sides of the border. There are, if you include the Chadians that are now displaced, close to 300,000 diplaced […]
Well, we have reached the end of one road and found ourselves at the all important beginning of another. As we headed to board the plane that would take us back to Abeche we received the sad new of another attack on a camp in Guerreda. Two refugees were killed. We had tried so hard […]
As we were leaving the little village we visited up North, we received sad news about another village, Guereda, and camp we wanted so much to go to, Kounoungo. The day before, there had been fighting between different armed groups. Then, either as a deliberate attack or from being caught in the cross fire, two […]
