International aid is still concentrated on short term emergency assitance in the camps, yet out of sight in the villages children continue to suffer. Please help us make 2008 a year to remember, not in despair, but as the start of hope for children's lives. Please ask your friends to Help us provide six goats and a donkey for every family in need in the villages in Darfur. That is our aim.... not much for a mother to ask for, but out of her reach unless you can help. ------------------------------ HANDS UP FOR DARFUR the incredible group of students from OXFORD UNIVERSITY, this year lead by the dynamic Olivia Toye, have had their once in a life time Fashion Show. With everything from African fashions to write ups in VOGUE magazine - these students, through their balanced programme of events and debates, are showing the way to raise awareness, without political bias, providing a platform whose fund raising now supports whole villages in Darfur.
