Stop Genocide NowOne student’s story takes you to the heart of the Darfur conflict. It is memories like these that carry on through generations to come. And it is kids like Yaya that motivate us to continue to work for peace.

We have finally arrived out to Eastern Chad. It has been an experience to say the least.. To get out of the capital city of N’Djamena we had to go through the all the red tape. We waited for two days to receive all the proper authorizations and signatures from the proper authorities. Then it […]
This is a tribute to the team who has been making i-ACT happen behind the scenes. Each i-ACT field trip involves the labor and sacrifice of many individuals — in publicity, in content, in video editing, in web design and web programming, in IT management. These individuals, in my opinion, exemplify what it is to […]
Please allow me to say a bit about the area I am more familiar with, which is i-ACT tech. There are three main parts to the tech involved in bringing each day of i-ACT from Chad to you. One is getting the content (video, text, pictures) from there to here. The second is post-processing that […]
G’s Journal—day 7 I become attached to specific people I meet in the camps pretty easily, and I wonder if they feel the same. I like to think they do! Today we went back to Djabal Camp, and it already felt familiar. I knew that I would, with no problem, again find Oumer and want […]

Joshua and Jeremiah met Gabriel last year and immediately connected. Both of them had been thinking about connecting humanity by facilitating personal connections with those in need. Their mission fits in so well with what we do here with i-ACT that they jumped at the opportunity to visit the camps in Chad. Unfortunately, they’ve been […]
Day 6 The sun rises gradually this morning. Or maybe its that I am already half awake several hours before we need to get up; each time I slowly open my eyes and quickly close them again its just a little brighter. I quickly gather our things and we are off. A new day, a […]
G’s Journal Day 6 As I’m writing this at four in the morning, I’m listening to Instant Karma, the collection of John Lennon songs put together in to an album as a campaign to help Darfur. “Imagine” has come and gone, and now I’m listening to “Beautiful Boy.” At the same time, I’m doing some […]
