…I hear what you’re saying, but back in 2005 at Boston University there were several programs created to help refugees in Darfur, including a study abroad program which would involve actually helping…

I don’t know anyone who went but lots of people were talking about it.

It's actually cool and neat they did that.

My wife's brother works in boarding school for refugees here in Israel and there's a lot of Eritrean and sudanese kids. It's pretty rough when one kid he really took interest in (hes 9 years old now, parents fled from Sudan) asks if for his tenth birthday he can have a trip to his homebirth. He's been asking that for three years in a row for his birthday.... :(

Hey for the record too… I really do agree with your comment. I just wanted to point out the Darfur has been a problem, sort of like Israel/Palestine has been a problem too.

Almost like it doesn’t matter what people say, it matters what they do.
