I am looking for people in the Portland Oregon area that are willing to spent any amount of time passing out flyers and putting up posters for a presentation I am giving on the 24th. Please send me a message or an e-mail to Adrien2690@hotmail.com. Thank you. http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/adrienrosamond/CLbl http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/adrienrosamond/CLbl/commentary#comments Fri, 13 Feb 2009 22:52:48 EST http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/adrienrosamond/CLbl Adrien http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/4a613c13856db15c19_phm6ixz04.jpg Adrien 0 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/CLbl/ When I first started speaking about Darfur there were odd looks and whispers. I interviewed person after person that had no idea what Darfur even was. I had guesses like, "a sports team" and "I really have been busy lately and have not seen the news". These reactions hurt me, I felt as if my country failed its citizens in informing them about one of the most important events in the past hundred years. People ask me why I Give these presentations on Darfur and what is happening. They ask what i am getting out of it, It took me a long time to come up with a responce to that, but i did. Now when i am asked that I simply look at them and say "Nothing, I get absolutely nothing out of helping these people. Except when this is all over I will be able to sit back in my couch and smile knowing that i Changed the world. And you will not." I feel for the people of Darfur. They really are wonderful people. That is something that I cant say about Americans. I wish i could switch places with a refugee, I would do it in a second. I wish others would feel this way as well. If I could change one thing about the people in this country I would change how Arrogant we are. We claim to be world leaders, yet when it comes time to save a country... We FALL FLAT ON OUR FACES! http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/adrienrosamond/CLbD http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/adrienrosamond/CLbD/commentary#comments Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:26:53 EST http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/post/adrienrosamond/CLbD Adrien http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/profile_picture/4a613c13856db15c19_phm6ixz04.jpg Adrien 2 http://www.savedarfur.org/page/community/comment_rss/CLbD/
