STAND and Deliver

by Robin :: Wednesday October 24, 2007

I can’t believe that a month has already passed; it's gone by surprisiingly quickly. Although I have been here for a month, I have yet to unpack a few boxes from home…

This weekend I went to a conference in Washington D.C. and met with 300 other students from an organization called STAND, which is a student-run anti-genocide coalition. While there, I furthered my knowledge about what is happening now in Darfur. A handful of incredible speakers came to talk to us about what is curretnly happening, what they have done, and what we, as students, can do. The experience was honestly life-changing and incredibly powerful. My teachers were all very supportive in the whole endeavor, and Thacher even sponsored the whole trip. I can’t wait to put into action all that I have learned this weekend.
