Ways to Help Darfur

I never know how much to say about the ongoing genocide in Darfur.  It's a heavy topic, and one of many that can leave people depressed and without a sense of how to respond.

So today I want to promote the work of two amazing organizations that have figured out what to do.  The Genocide Intervention Fund is raising money to bring additional African Union peacekeepers to Darfur.  And the Save Darfur coalition provides a convenient and comprehensive forum for education and activism about the crisis. 

Although the necessity for such groups boggles the mind, their existence makes me remember how caring most people are.
