2007-08: Helping to End the Genocide in Darfur
In response to the genocide in Darfur, in the Spring of 2007, our group was formed. Soonafter, we had a fastathon and other fundraisers that went towards the advocacy group SaveDarfur.org, with the other half going towards building schools in the refugee camps through the group called the Muzbat School for Peace. You can find out more about both groups at http://www.savedarfur.org/ and http://www.darfurdiaries.org/page_id=8 Following the lead of a local group called Buffalo for Africa, our committee attended a rally for Darfur in downtown Buffalo. On the way we dropped off poster letters and petitions at the offices of Senator Schumer, Clinton, and Congressman Higgins. More pictures of the rally can be found here.
