Why:
On Thursday, April 19th, Duke graduate students, professional students, and undergraduates will collaborate to hold a Student Actions Day for Darfur. This day will consist of several activities designed to raise awareness and encourage action with respect to the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Volunteers will urge passersby to contact their representatives and ask them to support current Darfur legislation. In addition, volunteers will read aloud the chilling stories of refugees who have survived the Sudanese government's murderous campaign. In the evening, Sudanese refugees now living in Greensboro, NC will share their own stories in person.
Volunteers are needed either to work at tables throughout the day, or to read monologues between 12pm and 2pm. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Andres Luco at andres.luco@duke.edu
