24 Hours For Darfur is a campaign for people online to volunteer, donate and spread support around the world about the issues in Darfur.
This Website contains an online video library of leaders calling for support to Darfur. 24 Hours for Darfur collects individual videotapes from civilians to display on its Website to create awareness about the conflict in Darfur.
World leaders such as Barack Obama, John Edwards, and Mia Farrow have videos featured about their thoughts about the action needed to support the people of Darfur. Leaders ask for political action and humanitarian aid.
You have the option to view videos and then send them to political leaders, such as President Bush, US Congress, and UN Security General Ki-Moon.
You can also watch Darfurian’s testimonies and learn what is really happening on the ground and in the displacement camps in Darfur.
This is a great way to become involved.

Kailyn,
I just really want to commend you on this blog. I am really impressed by it and glad that you decided to blog on such a meaningful topic. You have inspired me to learn more about what is going on in Darfur and help out.
I also wanted to let you know about a game, if you don’t already, that one of my teachers had us play in class. It’s called the “Darfur is Dying” game. It’s basically a video game where you can pick a Darfurian character and the goal is to fetch water without being captured. It imitates Darfurian’s struggle for survival in refugee camps.
I just thought it might be something you would like to check out and maybe add to your blog. The website is http://www.darfurisdying.com.
Keep up the good work!
