If you're giving to charity...
Nicholas Kristof, in his latest New York Times column (subscription required), writes again about the genocide in Darfur:
"The Darfur Peace Agreement, signed on May 5, signaled a ray of hope in a desperate land. But on the ground, its deadlines are not being met, security is deteriorating, and the violence is rippling from Sudan ever wider into both Chad and the Central African Republic."
"One measure of how awful the situation has become in eastern Chad is that at least 15,000 villagers have fled ... into Darfur!"
"In one broad swath of the Chad border region, the only Westerners brave enough (and crazy enough) to stay are French doctors with Doctors Without Borders. Hats off to them."
Those doctors and nurses are unspeakably brave. Yes, there are plenty of Americans who need our help. But if you're thinking globally.... Doctors Without Borders.
