End of "Not On Our Watch"

I liked the ending of "Not on Our Watch" the best since it actually explained what we we can do to help out, which is the whole point of the book. It talked about how we can write letters to the congress, to Bush. It made me want to do something right away, so i'm glad that we wrote letters to Congress and did Camp Darfur. It felt very good to know that we are actually doing something to help and not just sitting around. I would like to inform people on Darfur and its atrocities. Hopefully, at least one person out of all the people we inform will stand up and do something. It's one more person, one more letter. If everyone informed 20 people and one would do something and stand up, imagine how many letters would be sent to Congress every day, imagine how much money will be donated to help save Darfur, and imagine how we can save Darfur with just information. Information is the strongest way to stand up in what you believe in, for humanity.

Camp Darfur Reflection

Camp Darfur was a really great experience, not only for the visitors but for me and our team as well. We learned many htings about other genocides and I really felt like I had done somehting good. It was the most fulfilling project that I have ever worked on. It didn't even seem like a school project and I was excited to do it. Camp Darfur was set up very nicely and I htink it went great. I thought that more people from outside the High Tech High Village should have come, and newspapers, radiostations, and the news channels. However, I feel that I have infomed people about Darfur and the Cambodia and Holocaust genocides. My project In-Action was creating the Holocaust tent along with the China group. The tent turned out really well and added to Camp Darfur. People entered the tent thinking " I already know plenty about the Holocasut". But as they read and looked at the pictures they had many questions brought up. As I explained more about the Holocaust people had surprised looks on their faces and I was glad that I told them somethings which they did not know. All the speakers were great and really wonderful and I glad they came. The speaker which I found most interesting was Rachel who needed her son to translate. She said some very strong points and explained to us what was happening in Darfur, non-political, the victims views. She moved to the USA as an adult with children so she remembers her old country very well. I think the visitors were very much impacted by Camp Darfur. They entered the camp thinking that it's just a school project, but after they looked around and heard from us, they were very impressed. I think what impressed them was by how much we knew and how excited we were to be doing this, and that we got so many people together and information. We did not handle this as just a school project, so that was very impressive to me and to the visitors.
