The crisis in Darfur is something that I am truly becoming passionate about. It is a big problem, and more knowledge needs to be shined on the heads of us all on this issue.
    Although I am dedicated to the topic, it’s not necessarily easy. Part of that is because the cause is not in this country, it’s on the other side of the world. Therefore, it is harder to see the effect of the problem first hand. Also, this issue is extremely complex. I feel that to talk about the genocide, I also have to research and understand the war and the poltical conflict, which is really confusing and long. For example, there are so many unfamiliar terms and places that I have to do background research on to make sure I understand the full story, like the conflict with Chad and Sudan and the militias. All of that, and more, needs to be explained and broken down to really give a background of what the genocide started with and why it is still going on now. Thirdly, it is hard to find change agents for this cause, since it is something that is being ignored by the majority of the population, and if there are some, then I highly doubt that they will be found in the city, but the best I can do is try.
    Overall, however, I think that I am seeing some progress in my work. It seems that all the deadlines come so fast, even though we get sufficient time to do everything. I turn around and notice that another blog post is already due. It is okay though, because, it is not that difficult. All it takes is a hint of dedication and a pinch of determination.
