Today is i-ACT Day 5. Gabriel, Connie, Yuen-Lin and Ali return with polaroid cameras and delights everyone by taking their pictures. Alas, the tragedy behind the smiles resurfaces as we are shown drawings no child should ever see, let alone create.
Please go to www.stopgenocidenow.org and view today's video, ask questions, and make comments.
Action: Go to your house of worship and share about Darfur; ask priest/minister/rabbi/etc. to talk about it during service .
One of the greatest impacts we can make as citizens is ENGAGING our local communities. Today, we ask you to bring the stories you have heard and feelings you have to your place of worship. Bring your rabbi, minister, pastor or religious leader the latest news on Darfur, urge them to make it part of the service. Pass out information about Darfur after the service. Tell them about i-ACT. Take ACTion!
