About Me

Welcome to my site. This site is officially called WSforDarfur (Winston-Salem for Darfur). My goal is two-fold: 1. stop the violence, rape and slaughter in Darfur, Sudan; 2. to educate all that will listen about the genocide that is currently taking place in Darfur; 3. to establish dialog with those that are interested in championing this cause; and 4. to raise funds to send to Oxfam to help the people of Darfur.

My Interests


10,000 people in Darfur still dying each month. STOP THE GENOCIDE!!

I'd like to meet:

All who want to make a positive change in the world.


Darfur has been embroiled in a deadly conflict for over three years. At least 400,000 people have been killed; more than 2 million innocent civilians have been forced to flee their homes and now live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan or in refugee camps.

SAVE DARFUR!! SAVE DARFUR!!
The condition in Darfur has been described as the most terrible humanitarian crisis of our generation. An estimated two and a half million people have been displaced since the fighting intensified in early 2003. Jan Egeland, the UN’s emergency relief coordinator has been known to characterize the situation at hand as an ‘ethnic cleansing.’The civilians of Darfur are being subjected to systematic violence and are forced out of their homes on a colossal scale.

You Can Make A Difference!!!

The End Genocide Now Group is starting a new campaign. We are now asking that everybody focus on emailing Oprah to request that she do a weekly show or weekly update on the situation in Darfur. She does support ending the Darfur holocaust. Hopefully with Oprah's support the word will get out and more people will stand up and fight for the innocent people of Darfur's right to exist on this planet. Just click on Email Oprah and it will take you to the "show request" form. Fill out and then post a copy of your letter in the group if you like. Email Oprah - Click Here

Calling On The Media!

Now is the time utilize the power of myspace and the internet to make a difference in the lives of others. Many groups and individuals here on myspace and across the world wide web are advocating to end the genocide in Darfur. Now, we must all come together in a massive effort to stop the slaughter, rape and plunder because there is power in numbers.


For over three years, the media has neglected to educate the public about the ongoing atrocities in Darfur. As a result, there is a global lack of awareness and concern towards this issue. In many ways, reporting has become a popularity contest instead of a means to inform and raise awareness. We must remind the media that they have the power to affect a positive change. Below are links to contact information of the three largest evening news broadcasts in the US; NBC, ABC, and CBS. Please take a few minutes to email them and show that there are many who are concerned and want to be informed about the genocide in Darfur.

WE CAN'T WAIT!!! WE MUST ACT NOW!!!
This is what happens while we wait for the world to change. We absolutely can't wait for others to "step up to the plate". We must do what we can while we can. We can't wait for another 400,000 to die.

HUMAN SUFFERING AT ITS WORST
The continuing crisis in Darfur puts 1.6 million Sudanese at risk of illness and possibly death during the next three months from lack of food, shelter.
