Mia Farrow's exclusive dispatch: I am a witness to Darfur's suffering

Independent News
27 August 2007

My first visit to Darfur was in 2004. It changed the way I needed to live my life. I have just returned from my seventh trip to the region. I don't think I have the words to adequately represent what I have seen and heard there.

Incomprehensibly, it has now been more than four years since the killing began. Some experts believe half a million human beings have died thus far. Others bicker about the exact death toll - as if it makes a shred of difference to how we must respond.

Stop Genocide Now / i-ACT Campaign
Dear Friends and Familia:

We are getting ready once again to travel to the Chad-Dafur border and visit the refugee camps. The mission for our project, i-ACT (interactive-activism), is to use the power of the Internet to put a face to the mind-numbing numbers of dead, dying, and displaced.

We depart Los Angeles for Chad on July 7, and Day 1 of i-ACT will be July 10.
