This innovative project hopes to help bring an end to the atrocities of the genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. Students are trying to raise awareness by presenting the project to the general public, the government, and the media. This project is completely student driven, run by student volunteers. Please participate, and help spread the word about this project.
"We, Elm Place Middle School students, have created a project called "Reach for Change." The purpose of Reach for Change is to raise awareness about the Darfur genocide. We are asking you to color paper dolls which will be used as a visual aid to show the impact of the loss of so many lives. Our goal is to collect 400,000 paper dolls, representing the estimated 400,000 people who have died in the genocide so far. Please share this project with family, friends, and co-workers so that Darfur can be saved! . . . Also, as of right now, there is no deadline!"
Get your dolls!
Please download and print the doll template from this link:

The Darfur Wall has reached a remarkable milestone: 10 percent of the Wall is lit. This means that in just four months, you have lit 40,000 numbers and raised $40,000 for Darfur.
We have already disbursed $32,000 Doctors Without Borders, Save Darfur Coalition, Save the Children, and the Sudan Aid Fund. Over $8,000 more is on the way. As Eric Reeves recently told me, your contributions are "making a tangible difference" in Darfur.
When we started this project last November, we didn't know whether we'd raise even $1,000. We have been surprised and amazed by your generosity. Thank you.

Two U.S. photojournalists with StopGenocideNow.org have traveled to several refugee camps along the Chad/Darfur border to video tape personal stories of these refugees. To hear the stories directly from the refugees through i-ACT 2006 please visit: Link.
Please support i-ACT through the following campaigns:
1. i-ACT Extension: The photojournalist team is leaving behind communications equipment with refugees so our interaction continues even after they have left.
2. Camp Darfur: Invite i-ACT photojournalists, Gabriel and Stacey, to your school, college or other venue! They'll set up an interactive camp experience for you and your peers.
3. From America With Love: Record video messages for refugees like those you saw in Day 12 video. Invite Gabriel and Stacey to record your messages or make your own videos and send them to i-ACT!
Salaam,
Lisa
