Dream for Darfur
Local high school and college students, along with volunteers, will host Dream for Darfur, a symbolic Olympic Torch Relay that will be visiting more than 28 cities in solidarity with many international countries associated with mass slaughter and genocide around the globe.
Activists around the world will pass a symbolic Olympic torch to make one united statement: We must secure protection for civilians in Darfur, put pressure on China to stop selling weapons to the Sudanese government and secure lasting peace in the region.
Keynote speakers include Ben Prochazka, National Campaign Manager of the Save Darfur Coalition, and Paulino Chol, a Lost Boy of the Sudan.
When: Monday, October 29, 2007 at 4:30pm
Where: Colorado College, Armstrong Quad, 14 E. Cache La Poudre St
Why: As Sudan's chief diplomatic sponsor, major weapons provider, largest foreign investor, trade partner, and as host of the 2008 Summer Olympics, China must be made to accept its share of the responsibility for what's happening in Darfur.
So we must demand it.

Cheyenne Mountain High School Students raised over $1000.00 this week for Darfur, in an attempt to, "kick off" the Dream for Darfur campaign. Way to go!
Imagine if every high school did that? They are sharing the Dream for Darfur!!!!! My dream for Darfur is for the generations that are lost to be found through our kindness toward one another. What is your dream for Darfur?
