Fund Raising Campaign: A $ A Student For Darfur

Current Senator and former Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire launched the Darfur Fund in Vancouver. Given the urgent need of humanitarian assistance for the people in Darfur, we ask you to contribute to help aid work for the victims of the Darfur conflict. 100% of the proceeds will go to humanitarian work in the region less overhead costs and bank charges. Our goal is to raise 1 million dollars within the year. Learn more about the fund here.
