One of my personal heroes, Carl Wilkens, is coming to speak at UNC Chapel Hill tonight. He has an incredible story of staying in Rwanda throughout the genocide and helping people. His stories are powerful and the message poignant. Stop by and check it out if you are within striking distance of Chapel Hill.
When: Nov. 6 at 6 p.m.
Where: Hanes Art Center 121, UNC campus
See you there!

STANDFast: Stories of Survivors (12/1/09 at UNC-CH)
Here’s an upcoming event at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I’ll be there – come out and join us!
On December 1st, join UNC’s chapter of STAND, formerly SUDAN, in fasting from a luxury— like coffee, facebook, or food— for a day.
Sign up to fast at www.mysignup.com/standfast
Last year, participants raised almost $2,500. That money helped build two wells for 1,000 villagers in Chow Lek, Sudan. They no longer have to scoop their drinking water out of a shallow, muddy hole used by animals.
But we can’t stop there.
On the night of Dec. 1st, we will break the fast in the Student Union Great Hall at 6:30 p.m. Your donation ($5 suggested) will go to support one of STAND’s humanitarian aid campaigns. We will explain more the night of the fast!
There will be food donated by local restaurants like Jimmy John's, Jack Sprat and Chipotle! And UNC student dancers and singers will perform!
Following dinner, genocide survivors will share their experiences and answer questions.
Co Sponsors: James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence and the Student Life Enhancement Fund

DarfurFast
On December 5th, students around the world will ask their peers, families, and communities to join them in DarfurFast by fasting from one luxury item for one day and donating the money they would have spent on those items to protect civilians in Darfur. Just three dollars– less than the cost of a latte– can provide protection for one woman for a year.
For more about this international campaign led by students, go to www.standnow.org/darfurfast
On a personal note, I have been invited to speak at a DarfurFast event in Greensboro, N.C., that evening at 7;30 p.m. Sponsored by the UNC-G STAND chapter, this event will include a mixture of music, art and awareness. For more information, email standuncg [at] gmail [dot] com.
Hope to see you there!
