For our activist project, my group decided to do it on Darfur. Genocide is happening in Darfur and thousands of innocent people are being killed for no reason. No one seems to be doing anything about this, and one reason may be because most people aren't aware of what is happening.
So to create awareness of Darfur, we held an event at Humber residence. We invited all of our friends and posted flyers. Overall, we had a pretty good turnout. We made a 10 minute presentation about Darfur, accompanied by a Powerpoint presentation using video clips and pictures. We created a comprehensible brochure and made green ribbons to give to the people that came out. We gave each person a few ribbons in hope that they would share what we told them with others. We wanted to collaborate with Humber’s STAND group, but unfortunately, our schedules conflicted.
From this assignment and the documentary that we watched I have learnt what is happening in Darfur. I know that innocent people, even children are being tortured and murdered and that know one really is doing anything about it. I think that what is happening is absolutely horrible and that more people should be aware of what is going on. Together we can all make a difference in these peoples lives.
