"Between 1915 and 1918 there was more written in the NY Times about the Armenian Genocide than there has been about Darfur in the past few years. Yet, the world turned its head, shut its mouth, closed its eyes and ears. Let's not make the same mistake today. Darfur is a Genocide in the happening. Do something about it today. Walk - Run, if you can - in the shoes of these victims..."
   - (Rally for Darfur, UC Irvine, September 2006)

Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Beshir addresses the 61st United Nations General Assembly in New York last week. The president reaffirmed his refusal to authorize a UN peacekeeping deployment to the war-torn Darfur region, which would replace an under-funded African Union force of 7,000 that has failed to halt the violence.

Darfur and what you can do... Learn & Act!

We invite you to take a walk in the shoes of others. In particular the people of Darfur, Rwanda, Cambodia, Germany and Armenia... the 20th century was one of the bloodiest periods of history because of Genocide - the organized and systematic annihilation of a group of people. It began in the early part of the century in Armenia and continued until the 1990's in Rwanda. Today, the new century brings with the same, orchestrated type of mass killing - it the Genocide taking place in Darfur - the Western province of the Sudan. There's one difference in this Genocide - different from all the others that came before it - in that we can do something about it!

In His Shoes invites you to step-up to the challenge. Learn, educate and react. Below are links where you can find more information. Drop us a line and tell us where your strengths are and how you'd like to get involved... financial? time? working? calling? etc. Contact us at info@inhisshoes.com
