Save Darfur, Sudan

Dear Kol haKfar,
Rachel Smith is working on a Darfur event. It would be great to have a Kol Hakfar contingent there! So save the date and if you're interested in being more involved you can talk to me or email Barak (email below). We might also want to consider sponsoring the event, which would mainly entail committing to bring ten people. If you can commit to coming, email me - rachel.smith@nyu.edu - and that way we can get a feel for whether or not we have enough people to be a co-sponsor.
Thanks,
Rachel
