challenges you to
GET INVOLVED. NOW.
Save
Darfur mission is to raise public awareness
about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to mobilize a unified response
to the atrocities that threaten the lives of two million people in
the Darfur region. 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 in neighboring Chad; and more than 3.5 million
men, women, and children are completely reliant on international
aid for survival. Not since the Rwandan genocide of 1994 has
the world seen such a calculated campaign of displacement, starvation,
rape, and mass slaughter. www.savedarfur.org

history. ONE believes that allocating an additional ONE percent of the
U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean
water and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation

trade reform and anti–corruption measures in a comprehensive
package to help Africa and the poorest nations beat AIDS and extreme
poverty. www.one.org/

Plot Summary: On January 23, 2002, Mariane Pearl's world changed forever. Her husband Daniel, South Asia bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, was researching a story on shoe bomber Richard Reid. The story drew them to Karachi where a go-between had promised access to an elusive source. As Danny left for the meeting, he told Mariane he might be late for dinner. He never returned.
In the face of death, Danny's spirit of defiance and his unflinching belief in the power of journalism led Mariane to write about his disappearance, the intense effort to find him and his eventual murder in her memoir "A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl." Six months pregnant when the ordeal began, she was carrying a son that Danny hoped to name Adam. She wrote the book to introduce Adam to the father he would never meet. Transcending religion, race and nationality, Mariane's courageous desire to rise above the bitterness and hatred that continues to plague this post 9/11 world, serves as the purest expression of the joy of life she and Danny shared. — More here
