Everton Student Council For Darfur

Thank you for visiting Everton Student Council's Dollars for Darfur page.

Each day in Darfur, hundreds of people are raped, starved and murdered by the Sudanese armed forces and a Sudanese government-backed militia known as the Janjaweed. At least 400,000 people have died and more than 2 million Darfurians have been left homeless. The United Nations Security Council authorized that peacekeepers be deployed to Darfur, but the Sudanese government has not yet allowed them entry. Meanwhile, the calculated campaign of displacement, starvation, rape, and mass slaughter continues.

Dollars for Darfur is a national school competition to raise funds to help end the genocide in Sudan. Our school is competing with other institutions across the country to show our concern about this issue.

The Everton Student Council believes that as a part of the human race, we have a responsibility to aid and protect those who are persecuted and oppressed. The genocide in Darfur is the largest attack being waged against humanity today, with the world's largest refugee population present in Sudan. It is our mission to be the beacon of hope for those who are victimized. Eventually, through our work we will see a peaceful Darfur.

High school students can make a difference. There are over 27,000 high schools in the United States. If each school raised just $50, we could raise over one million dollars. Donating through this website is simple, fast and completely secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. All funds raised will go directly to the Save Darfur Coalition, a non-profit charity.

"He who saves one life, saves the world entire." You now have the opportunity to save thousands of lives. No gift is too small. Please, SAVE DARFUR!!!

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might also wish to donate.
