What can 1 person do tho help the children of Darfur?

Question

Youth is supposed to be carefree. Childhood is meant for laughing, playing and growing. But children in Darfur are living in tragedy.



War in Darfur still affects some 4 million people, and half of them are children.
Most Americans are familiar with what's happening in Darfur. It's been on TV and in newspapers. But the problem is so big, it seems too hard for one person to make a difference.

Answer 1

One person can do a lot:

1. Donate money to an international charity, such as UNICEF or the American Red Cross

2. Write to your congressman and demand that our government do more to help. You can do this easily at your own computer by going to Congress' website. Google it.

3. Volunteer in your own community. Do good at home, and goodness will spread to bigger and better things.

4. VOTE!!! Our government has the power to help. If this really matters to you, make sure your government is doing what it can to help. If they are not, then vote their sorry butts out of office. The American people have a lot of power when they stop being too lazy to use it.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Nothing. The best thing we can all do sadly is nothing. Most the situation is caused by aid and people trying to help. If we had done nothing is the first place it would have been a short minor conflict.

Very few people will starve to death or die of thirst for the concept of peace. Economics and war are directly related you cannot have peace until you have enough to go around. If you don't you need more recourses or less people to have peace.

The conflict was originally started because reduced rain fall drove nomadic hearders into the areas with farmers and with this reduced rain fall the land could not support them all. So they started fighting over it. You think like in the past some would die and some would win and they would work it out with a few less people.

Instead we had to send food, and medicine when the fighting started. The increased the number of people there making the problem worse. Now the increased number of people is doing further damage to the ecosystem making the problem even worse.

So there are only two ways to solve this permanently send enough aid and resources to maintain all the people. That would mean some water pipelines to start with. Or they have to get down to a number of people the land can support either through killing each other or you will have to relocate most the people to another country since the aid given to that area has swelled the population to several times what the region can support.

Anything else is just going harm to make yourself feel good.

Some of the greatest evils are done with the best of intentions.

If you want to help with aid it does not mean giving once it means you have to give every month and you have to increase how much you give every year for the rest of your life and have your kids do the same. There are more people then that area can support the only way to keep them all alive and at peace without any dieing is to permanently send enough aid for there to be an excess.

Answer 3

First peace needs to be restored in this country and those of the us who are in a position to should help with the adoption process of some of these children and then the rest of should make donations or start up a place donations, of food, clothing and money so that they cna be taken care of leaving behind educators, and people to help rebuild this country.. United we stand, divided we fall

Answer 4

Buy a high powered sniper rifle, train and practice on how to use it, when you get really really good, learn how to stalk targets, how to pick out good sniping positions and get away routes. Get really good at these things.

The start doing some research and find the people in the CIA and Military that supply guns and ammo to the rebels in Darfur. Find out where they live, find out their daily schedules and pick out the best places to hide and wait for them. Plan, plan, plan, and then when you think you're ready plan for another month. Then when your are completely ready, get your sniper rifle, go to the location you picked out and take out the people one by one. That should cut off the supply of guns and ammo to Darfur and given a year everything will calm down enough for other people to step in and fix that crisis.

What you thought politics, protests and donations would fix the problem? Don't be naive, the fact is lots of people are making crap loads of money by supplying weapons to that area, either you find a way to make that situation no longer profitable for those people or you put a bullet in their head, of course then its only a matter of time before somebody replaces them.
