Reports from the refugee camps in Chad
Published June 23, 2009 @ 09:09PM PT
Hopefully you've seen some of the beautiful photos I've posted to illustrate the "Daily Darfur" posts over the past few days. These photos are from Stop Genocide Now's trip to refugee camps in Chad - their 8th such trip since the crisis began.
Of course, they're not just taking photos while there. They're tweeting (as @iact), doing live video chats with people around the world for World Refugee Day and collaborating with the Enough Project's Darfur Dream Team Sister Schools Project to raise awareness about the situation of school children in the refugee camps.
They're also posting some thought-provoking blog entries - such as reflections on Father's Day in the camps, and the meaning of "home".
They're heading back to the US soon, so I'd recommend checking out their reports from the camps today.
