1b00I discovered my passion for social action last year, after watching a film in my Contemporary World Problems about the genocide that is taking place in Darfur. Since my grandparents were Holocaust survivors, I wondered how I could remain silent in the face of such a tragedy, so I took it upon myself to provide adults and students with knowledge of this crisis . Contemplating the enormity of Darfur might cause some people to despair and consequently do nothing. I'm not content to do nothing. In the words of Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor like my own grandparents, “Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.”02b02br
