What is Darfur?  What can we do?  What can you do?  What is genocide?  Why should we care?

I just started reading Not On Our Watch a book about the mission to end genocide in Darfur and beyond.  One of the first strategies mentioned in the book is to Raise Awareness.

I started thinking ~
What if we all Give a Day for Darfur? 
What if we gave at least 8 hours of our life towards the cause in Darfur? 
If 10,000 of the 75,000+ zaadsters gave 8 hours towards the cause in Darfur that would be 80,000 hours or over 3,300 days or over 9 Years of effort towards Darfur.

I have started by raising my awareness by buying the book Not On Our Watch and the Instant Karma CD.  I hope I can raise your awareness too and that you can help raise the awareness of others.

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum's "Crisis in Darfur" layer lets you visit the unfolding genocide in Darfur, which has caused one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent times. You can read moving testimonies and see photographic documentation from those directly involved, witness the remains of scores of burned down villages, and follow the refugees to camps in Chad, and -- most important -- learn what you can do to help the innocent victims of this incomprehensible tragedy. From Google Earth, go to "Darfur, Sudan" and explore the "USHMM: Crisis in Darfur."
