I will be hosting a meeting at my office September 15, 2007 at 11:00 AM. Please be here if you can and bring a friend.
The address is 601 Elysian Fields.
We are very excited about our first meeting at the Sheraton Galleria in NEw Orleans. I thanks each one of you for attending and commiting to work hand by hand to raise awareness and stop the Genocide in Darfur. For the ones that couldn't attend, the invitation is still up, and you can find out about our meetings each time you visit the Save Darfur Louisiana. We need more help, if you think you can contribute in any way, please join us as soon as possible.
Whoever read "Night" by Nobel Peace Prize, Elie Wiesel, probably understands what can really be happening to millions of innocents in Darfur. For all of us who live so far from Sudan, it's very easy just to pretend to imagine how hard and tough life can be for kids, women and men suffering the imaginable at hands of their oppressors. Wiesel says something that I want to share it again with you:
" We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are presucuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must -at that moment- become the center of the universe"
We must interfere cause we can't just sit down and watch the days passing by, we are all sharing this world, we are all human beings and we need each other today more than ever. Send letters to your senators and congressmen, call the president's office, do whatever you think you can do, any little grain of sand will make a big difference. So many people cares, but so little helps.
