The Darfur conflict erupted in early 2003. Fighting among various factions has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced more than 2 million, most escaping to larger towns where they stay in camps for "internally displaced people," and some crossing the border into Chad, where they live in refugee camps, straining local resources. Attacks on civilians during the conflict have been brutal and include burning homes, killing and rape. http;//www.lloydspixelads.com
Anyone of you who is familiar with me know that I have been concerned about the situation in Darfur for some time. I've even gone as far as sending a post card to President Bush earlier this year.
So How Can You And I Help Stop The Suffering In Darfur?
I've teamed up with 2 outstanding groups. The 1st one is the Save Darfur Coalition. They are committed to making a difference for the people of Darfur. To accomplish this, the Save Darfur Coalition works to:
Generate more media coverage of the genocide in Darfur.
Promote Darfur-related legislation through outreach to members of Congress.
Support local efforts to raise awareness of the Darfur crisis and act as a clearinghouse for information about the situation in Darfur.
By supporting this coalition we will have the opportunity to voice our support at the times it is most needed and will have the greatest impact. http://www.savedarfur.org/home

The other group I've teamed up with is an organization that I'm sure you all are aware of. It's call CARE. CARE has been active in Darfur since April 2004 and currently provides direct humanitarian assistance to over 450,000 war-affected people.
CARE operates throughout South and West Darfur, including the cities of Nyala, Kass, Zalingi and surrounding camps. CARE's work includes water and sanitation, community services and distribution of food and other relief items.
A total of 61,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) in three camps are receiving water and sanitation services. CARE constructed a total of 3,330 latrines in Kalma, El Shereif and Otash camps.
CARE created 1,399 "health clubs" at the three IDP camps to promote awareness of good hygiene practices. CARE also provides water services in other areas around Darfur - for instance, 11 boreholes were drilled around Kass, in South Darfur, in January.
CARE is now distributing food to 318,666 people. Their community services program focuses on income-generation and literacy training from women in IDP camps.
