I was recently made moderator of the Ravelry group "Darfur - end the Genocide", which came as a surprise. But I'm up for a challenge, so I'll do it. It's a small group anyway, the problem is there's no real discussion or "life" in the group. So please if you have any interest (and a Ravelry account) please join the group!
Anyhow, the nomination made me think a bit more about Darfur again. So I thought I'd institute the "Darfur Fridays" at least for a while - to show people the genocide is not over, and we should't forget Darfur. So here's some links for you:
See satellite picture from Darfur - see the burned villages yourself. To think about being driven from your home to live in a refugee camp... brr! I am lucky.
Tears of the Desert: A Memoir of Survival in Darfur - the first memoir of a woman. Read an exceprt.

Great, then the posting was not in vain! Hopefully some other folks will see it too, and maybe get motivated to write their congressman / representative again, or knit for a Darfur charity!
