Ruth Messinger, President of American Jewish World Service, will give a firsthand account of the ongoing genocidal campaign in Darfur, Sudan that has been raging since February, 2003. Reflecting on her own visits to the region in August 2004, October 2005 and July 2007, Ruth will describe what must be done to stop these atrocities that have claimed over 450,000 lives. In addition to her presentation on the current conflict in Darfur, she will also highlight the work of AJWS and its 368 projects in 36 countries throughout the Americas, Africa and Asia. Sharing the words of dedicated volunteers from across the United States – students, community leaders and skilled professionals – Ruth will tell of the enormous transformative impact we can make as global citizens working to ensure lasting social justice.
