The world vowed “never again” after the genocide in Rwanda and the atrocities in Srebrenica, Bosnia. Then came Darfur. Over the past seven years, more than 300,000 people have been killed, 2.5 million driven from their homes, and mass rapes have been used as a weapon in a brutal campaign supported by the Sudanese government against civilians in Darfur.

Why are we as a world so helpless in the face of genocide?

Watch a special screening of the movie “On Our Watch,” on Saturday, February 12, from 7:00pm – 9:00pm, at the Mesa Verde United Methodist Church (Fellowship Hall), located at 1701 Baker St., in Costa Mesa.

Sponsored by Orange County for Darfur (OCFD).  Click here to RSVP on Facebook.

:: HELP THE SUDANESE ::

At the screening, we will be collecting household items that many of the Sudanese in San Diego are in need of. eg. Clothing, cooking utensils, books, school supplies, baby diapers, formula etc.

For a complete “needs” list, visit our website. If you’d like to help, please get in touch with us at (949) 891-2005 or email info@livingubuntu.org.
