watch...read...listen

watch Hotel Rwanda. the 2004 film was on over 120 top-ten lists and was nominated for several Golden Globes and Academy Awards. it's the true story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who opens his hotel to over 1200 refugees in conflict torn Rwanda in 1994.

read Not On Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond by Don Cheadle and John Prendergast. great read. interesting, informative, and inspiring. the book offers history, insight, and ways we can help right now.

listen to Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. this CD is a collection of John Lennon songs performed by various artists including Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, U2, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Black Eyed Peas, and many more. great music and a great cause. really bad karma if you steal this music.
