PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO COME TO OUR NEXT PLANNING MEETING ON THURSDAY, JUNE 23RD AT 5:00 pm AT THE TALKING DRUM CAFE at 413 Main St., Holyoke, MA. Please come and discuss what next steps we in Western Mass can take to end the genocide in Darfur.
CURRENT DARFUR EVENTS FOR WEEK OF JUNE 4TH THROUGH JUNE 11TH:
The exhibit of children's drawings from Darfur, THE CHILDREN OF DARFUR: SURVIVING GENOCIDE, has returned to this area. Please come and share in these overwhelming images of the violence that is still plaguing Darfur. See this world through children's eyes: families are not safe in the refugee camps ... the genocide is not over. We want to gather around these drawings to reflect on the loss and take action to stop the murders and rapes in Darfur.
