Tonight I had my eyes opened to a travesty that I knew very little about. For years I have heard that genocide was taking place in Darfur. I knew that. But I am ashamed to say that I had no idea what genocide was, nor did I know where Darfur was located. I always associated Darfur with a failed Clinton administration something-or-other. I have been ignorant.
Tonight I had the opportunity to hear someone speak from the group Christian Solidarity International (CSI). For the first time I saw pictures, heard stories, and listened to firsthand accounts of freeing slaves, uniting families, and helping the people of Sudan.
I want to learn more. I want to help. Basic Human Rights are being denied to an entire nation.
Did you know that $50 is all it takes to free a slave in Sudan? CSI is able to barter with the oppressive slave holders to release ONE person for every $50 worth of bovine vaccine. Cattle are worth more than slaves.
CSI is committed to stand in solidarity with those who are being persecuted for their faith in the Sudan, Iraq, and Pakistan. You can make a difference by enabling CSI to Feed, Free and Heal the Captives. Join me, and help make a difference.
