Darfur Awareness week at High Point Regional High School
Movie Night- Thursday, March 13, 6:30-9:00 p.m. in the auditorium. We will show the movie Hotel Rwanda, after giving the audience information about the genocide in Darfur. The evening will include comments by our very own expert, Mrs. Jackie Sutton. Students will be able to prepare letters to politicians and sign petitions as well as donate $5 admission for refugee aid. There will also be a bake sale to raise more money for refugee aid.

I created a non-profit organization in my community and high school to raise awareness and money for the victims of starvation and genocide in Darfur, Sudan. We have raised over 3,700 dollars so far and are expecting to raise over $6,000 total. Students in the local high schools are now aware of the conflict in Sudan and have shown interest in aiding those affected. I have organized raffles, the sales of over 350 "Stop Genocide in Sudan" t-shirts, a benefit concert, and coin drives. A large community event is in the planning stage currently.
