Sat, 08 Mar 2008 04:10:32 +0000 http://globalclassroom.wordpress.com/?p=39#comment-366 Dear President Bush, It is inhumane to not acknowledge the genocide of Darfur. The United States is a strong country and has a responsibility to help end the killing of innocent lives. The United States has to play a bigger role in making the United Nations support Darfur. If are nation comes together to help support Darfur we will save lots of lives and will be able to stop the genocide. When are nation doesn’t help more lives in Darfur are killed and kids have to watch their families die and have to live with the memory of what happened to them.I think its terrible to see and hear genocide of Darfur. So lets try to put a stop the genocide of Darfur. Sincerely, Morgan Dear President Bush,

It is just sad when people fight when they should just live peacefully and if they don’t like each other just don’t interact with them. In Sudan there are 500,000 deaths from the Jan jawed people alone. If I got to see a refugee from there it would be awkward to talk to them but it also would be interesting to listen to what he or she has to say.

Adults and children alike are dying everyday in Sudan. The genocide is causing children to come home to find their parents missing. When someone is kidnapped, they have two choices: come into the army or die. This all started from religious and some other issues.This is a very serious issue since the president of Sudan is not doing anything. Since we are a very powerful country, I think we can help put a stop to this issue. Thank You Dear Mr. Bush.

I would also ask our moms to see if we can start a fundraiser around our town. I and my friends will try to put up fliers around town and put a phone number on the paper. So that they can call and donate money or other items that might be of some use.

There are even things that I and other students can do. These include writing to our local newspaper, and asking them to compose an article about the problems in Darfur. This will help to spread awareness to people in our community. This may not seem important, but the more people know, the more they can help in larger, more important ways. I would also tell them about how the government and government organizations are doing to help. They are donating food, money, and support to the refugees in African countries. Also many organizations, such as the peace core, are sending people to these countries to provide support to the refugees. Finally, I would tell him/her that they aren’t alone in their situation. Many countries are dealing with similar problems, such as very violent civil wars. There are also many refugees from other countries in Africa and Cuba. Together we can manage to save these people and many others who suffer from similar problems.

It has been a problem because of the Janjaweed, they have killed lots of innocent people and have displaced many little children. Someone needs to help these poor people.

It is a problem in many countries throughout Africa. It has been taking lives of people young and old. We could do something help them like send money for medicine. It would just take a few fundraisers and some donations and we could end up saving many lives. This problem isn’t’ known very largely in the United States so the fundraisers not only will help get money spread the word every where. Dear Government Leaders,

Thousands of people are being killed, abused, and raped every day, and we aren’t helping. As one of the most powerful countries, we should be helping others. If we helped them, we could be doing so much to support them: provide protection, stop the Janjaweed, and plenty more. Also, the people in Darfur have just as much reason to live as we do. So, why not help? We have nothing to lose. Please, for the sake of the people in Darfur, think about being an International helper to these traumatized folk.

These people are abused and beaten. If this were going on in our country wouldn’t you want to put an end to the suffering of your people? Their leader does nothing to help ours should do something and save these people from abuse. They have to live their lives in fear. People have to be cautious just to go to a well to draw water without being taken captive. Help them, please. Dear Mr. Bush,

We’re sure they would be very worried so we would try and talk to them about what was going on, and what we were doing to help. First we would say that American is concerned with their problems and that they were doing a lot to help. They could ask what… and we would say that we are sending people down to help with families and people in need. Medical care is a big issue too, and we are doing a lot to help that. Although right now we are not doing the most we could, we are getting there. We would we assure everything is ok and that someday things will be back to normal, and that we were going to do the most to help, and convince others to help too. Most of all we are very sorry at what is happening and wishing them the best. Sitting down with a kid our age, there would be a lot to talk about.
