Darfur, Sudan ~ What's Going On?
From Darfuri Families' Viewpoints
November 13, Monday, 2006 at 7:00 p.m.
Middletown Public Library
700 West Main Road
With 400,000 dead and 2.5 million* forced from their homes in Darfur, Sudan,
it is easy to allow these overwhelming numbers just to be numbers. This
means this story never finds its way into our hearts. Add that it is far
away on the under-reported continent of Africa and the story barely gets the
attention that such a huge story deserves. This evening will bridge this
gap, as well as give simple things that you can do to make a difference.

There is no charge for this presentation, but seating is limited.
