The expressed goal of this web site is make this a better and safer world for everybody.
The crisis in Darfur mandates that each of us take some action. We can not hide behind the statement that we did not know what was going on. We know and we must respond.
One suggestion is to make a donation to Global Relief that is focused on Darfur. Please click on DARFUR and follow the link to make your donation. Thanks to your donation, somebody in Darfur
will suffer a little bit less than if no action is taken.
