April is Genocide Awareness month.
What will you be doing?
There are so many ways to get involved even if time is an issue.
One effective way to help is to voice your opinion to an elected official by sending an email or letter.
Our new President and newly appointed staff, must continue to hear that Genocide is a priority.
Do not let this current administration stovepipe on this issue.
The Save Darfur Coalition has letters set up and ready to send.
Visit www.savedarfur.org
Learn about Genocide.
The American Booksellers Association together with many independent book stores will be setting up special displays with suggested reading materials. One of my personal favorites is entitled, "The Problem from Hell" by Samantha Power.
Make a donation-small donations matter!
For $10.00 you can send a life saving mosquito net to a needy refugee. Did you know that Malaria is the number one killer in refugee camps? The UN has sponsored a program implemented by URJ that is working in several camps and has significantly reduced the mortality rates. The program is called "Nothing but Nets". You can save a life by sending a treated net today!
Visit www.urj.nets to donate to "Nothing but Nets" campaign.
Make April the month you do something about Genocide.
