Darfur Week Raises Awareness,
Encourages Activisim

Juniors Amelia Nystrom, Laura Allen, and Corina Spanu paint their hands red to help cover the wall across from the junior courtyard in handprints, a lasting message symbolizing the urgent need to stop the genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan.  Decorating the wall (and a banner that will be used in a national rally) was the culminating event of “Darfur Week,” the National Honor Society’s service project.  Earlier in the week, interested students were invited to watch the documentary “Darfur Diaries” and listen to Diana Duarte, a representative from Africa Action, discuss the situation and what students can do to help.
