Live broadcast from Sudanese refugee camp
I'm sure you're aware of the dire situation in Darfur, Sudan. In
this region the size of Texas, over a million people are threatened with
torture and death at the hands of the infamous government-backed
Janjaweed militiamen. Already, hundreds of thousands have been displaced in
what the UN is calling the worst humanitarian disaster in the world.
In order to highlight the situation, and to enable young people to gain
a better understanding of the conflict that is unwinding in Sudan, GNG
will be broadcasting directly from a Sudanese refugee camp along the
border of Chad at the end of August (a precise date will be confirmed
shortly).
This one-time-only broadcast will be open to all interested teachers
and their students. To sign up, or simply to express your interest,
please follow this link.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for your students to hear about an
ongoing conflict directly from its victims and to learn from the
humanitarian coordinators working in these camps. We'll be interviewing
people from aid agencies such as the UNHCR and Doctors Without Borders,
and giving a voice to young Sudanese refugees.
