Students at El Centro painted our Tent of Hope and viewed our Darfur presentation 
as part of their Success Fair.  We talked to a lot of students 
about Darfur.   The presentation was very well received, and many students painted
the tent!  We plan on going back to El Centro for another Darfur event soon.

Faces of Africa
October 23rd, 2008
From Fish Fotography's flier:
"See the faces, hear the stories, and connect with the personal struggles that are occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Meet people whose hearts and minds are focused on the seen and unseen of Africa, and learn how you can make a difference. Poignant photos, compelling personal stories, and powerful videos will be the backdrop for this evening."

This protest took place in front of the steps of the Washington, DC Sudanese Embassy.  Part of the Tents of Hope "Gathering of the Tents" national event, the protest included church groups, Save Darfur members, STAND students, and Darfuri and Sudanese refugees.
