Fall Mountain Community Action Now
Submitted by teachengfm on 8 June 2009 - 10:09am.
On Saturday June 6, 2009, a group of concerned Fall Mountain students lead a community information night. The students made their own t-shirts that were sold for fund raising; some of them also baked good for donations. The community was informed on Darfur's situation and were asked to write letters to either an elected official or a media station. 49 letters were collected as well as over 50 signatures for a petition. The group also raised close to $500 for Global Grassroots, an organization that works directly with the survivors of Darfur who now live in the refugee camps in Chad.
