3rd grade Press Releases
Hey, you should really check out these press releases by a 3rd grade class in Florida. They are writing about the crisis in Darfur. Its amazing how they are writing. Most 8th graders in my school dont know what Darfur even is. If you get a chance you should write a nice comment, I am going to do that right now! -

I feel so freaken sorry about the events occurring in Darfur, and it is indeed very wrong that the Government isn’t doing one thing about it.
If I could do something about it I would. -

That’s true people should help them, because those people are going through a rough time and other should help, because if we were in their situation we would want all the help we can get.

I never knew about Darfur and how the Sudan militia and Janjaweed are responsible for as many as 500,000 deaths and 2,500,000 displaced refugees. I feel so sorry for them nobody deserves to be hurt like that not even Darfur so I would like to make sure that my voice is among them. -

Hi! The weather here is bad to. Now there’s like a little pond near my school. I did not know about Darfur before and I feel bad about the people there. i did not know that a lot of people were dying there. The women, men, and children are dying I feel real sad for them. That should happen to no one. -

I want to participate in this project and would like to encourage more students to help out. Darfur has been suffuring many deaths, famine, and has increasing instability.
On the Many Voices for Darfur website it says:
“For 48 hours, starting at midnight eastern standard time on March 6, 2008, many student voices will be collected in the name of those suffering in Darfur. Be sure that your voice is among them.” -

Hello everyone: I posted something in my facebook account to let my high school know about this wonderful virtual initiative. I hope we can be numerous and I hope you can join our group if you have a facebook account, so that we can let them hear our voice and let people know about what is going on in Darfur!!!
Hopefully we’ll have even more participants and we can make our voices loud and clear!

also at tech thursday! This looks cool. I know a teacher whose students want to do some organizing to support people in Darfur, and he’d love this.
Nathaniel at EBAFF, Bronx, NY
I looked at a web site about Darfur. I read this sentence:
“This is a collaborative effort involving k-12 students from around the globe to raise awareness about the genocide in Darfur.”
Here are some of my questions:
Where is Darfur? Is it close to here? I’ve never heard of it.
What’s a genocide?

Hey this is Nik, I am one of Mr. Mayo’s 8th grade stuent. We are looking for other students to participate in our global Darfur awareness project.

Mr. Mayo, looking forward. Have them tag their tweets about this project with “Darfur” Also I subscribe to the tag Paul-Allison, so to get a message to me, one just uses that tag.
Mr. Mayo, an 8th grade teacher in Maryland
@Paul Allison Ian just left! We’ll be in touch Wed. That would be COOL to have students set up the Skype chat. My students are looking to share their upcoming Darfur project with others. I’ll have them tweet tomorrow.
Paul Allison at EWSIS, Queens, NY
Ian, that would be great! I have an 8th grade class that meets every day at 12:00 Noon Eastern time, and a 7th grade class that meets at 2:30 PM. Could we plan something around those time?
