Immediately following Christmas Vacation, Ms. Sauders, an English teacher, came up with an idea. She was aware of the violent on goings in Darfur and proposed to her period 3 class to help make a change after she educated her students on the issue. The students made posters and took direct action to attempt to make a positive change.
Many months later President Bush has finally taken action on the issue. He spoke of the issue and made a promise.
"I promise this to the people of Darfur: the United States will not avert our eyes from a crisis that challenges the conscience of the world," the president said.
He followed this up with fact.
"The world has a responsibility to put an end to it," Bush said.
Proposals have been made and they will be decided upon at a latter date. But one thing that is for sure is that the U.S. will no longer let the genocide that is taking place in Darfur continue.

Good, important world issue which is something which makes a good blog topic especially how you tie it to PHS - but transition is abrupt. This was the last of four consecutive postings - tired?
