We want to thank all of you that helped to make Camp Darfur a great success. The response on campus was extremely positive and we can’t wait to work on similar events. For those of you wondering what is the next step, well there are plenty of ways to get involved and help out. You can refer to our Darfur Resources page, and contact us with any questions.

As the academic year comes to a close we would like to try and put together one last Hillel Shabbat. June 1st 2007, in Mod 303 B, we are thinking around 7:30pm…as usual it will be a potluck and Hillel will supply Challah and Kiddush . I hope to see you all there.

I would like to thank David Lynn for coming to Evergreen and showing his documentary and helping us to understand the Genocide in Darfur. I also want to thank SESAME for co-sponsoring this event with us, I hope that this is the beginning of a long and prosperous alliance.
