Camp Darfur Comes to Pasadena

Group 22 volunteers were pleased to participate once again in Camp Darfur, bringing attention to the plight of refugees from Darfur, Sudan. This time the encampment was hosted by our friends at All Saints Church in Pasadena.

Church-goers added over 150 signatures to our Amnesty petition on Justice for the women of Sudan.

Here are some snapshots to give you a sense of the action. Visitors to the tents learned about the history of genocide, life in refugee camps and had an opportunity to purchase solar cookers for refugee families.

Children joined in the action. There were even comic books for teens.
