Fresh Ideas

In hopes of raising awareness about the reality of genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan, Sam writes every Monday about a key issue in an attempt to stop the atrocity. Doing so may not bring about a wave of change, but it is a small ripple that represents the tide that needs turning.

I saw this today and was amazed at the freshness of thinking. Coinciding with the rally on the Mall in DC on April 30 is a campaign entitled Dining for Darfur. Certain restaurants can sign up and 5% of the day's revenue will go to benefit humanitarian relief efforts in Darfur. Most of the restaurants are in New York, but if there is one near you, go out to eat and don't feel bad about what you order. And, if there's not one near you, tell your buddy who works at your favorite joint so they can get listed and get involved.

Thinking like this changes the world.
