Stop Genocide Now
Frustrated, but a sugar-free Red Bull would sure help me feel better. I did not get around to writing a journal for Day 2, so I’ll include some thoughts from yesterday in this one for Day 3. I think that the word that comes up the most yesterday from all of our team is “frustration” […]
8 June 2008 N’Djamena The flight in to N’Djamena was not a good start to our arrival in Chad. We made it to Chad airspace and very close to N’D, but then had to circle around before landing because of bad weather. This going round and round went on for almost two hours. Except for […]
Your messages of love and activism that we share with refugees often bring tears and smiles to the faces of our friends who have suffered for five years.

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 […]
