Category: Seeking Empathy – A One Month Refugee Diet

In solidarity with all of the displaced from Darfur, SGN teammates Jeremiah Forest and Eric Angel will participate on a month-long fast, matching his diet to the ones of refugees we have recently visited in the desert. They will write daily journals and regularly upload pictures and video, sharing their experience.

Join him for a day or more of his fast. He’ll let you know what he’s eating, which will be the same thing during the entire month!
