Hey everyone,

I found some resources we'll be able to use as a slideshow. We can put these on fullscreen on some mobile campus laptops and it can be a good part of a presentation - at the very least, something that will catch people's eyes as they walk by.

(Open this URL in a media player: Just clicking on it might not work (it didn't on my computer))http://www.alertnet.org/thefacts/imagerepository/video/PeaceUnderFire-Medium.wmv (Direct link, allows us to open in a media player and fullscreen it. Found on http://www.alertnet.org/thefacts/reliefresources/108504954881.htm. Great resource, we should definitely use this)

http://phrusa2.streamguys.net/sudan/flash/sudan.swf (Which is the direct link for the flash movie found at http://physiciansforhumanrights.org/sudan/darfur.html ... using the direct link lets us make it bigger when it's on fullscreen.)

http://www.usaid.gov/locations/sub-saharan_africa/sudan/images/destruction_in_darfur/photo13_highres.html Just one picture of the devastation (high res). Taken from the site: http://www.usaid.gov/locations/sub-saharan_africa/sudan/images/ Which is a really nice site because it has low-res and high-res versions of pictures.

This picture gives you a glimpse of the scale of one of the refugee camps: http://www.worldvision.org/worldvision/appeals.nsf/stable/darfur_panoramic

Here's another picture of the refugee camps: http://www.worldvision.org/worldvision/appeals.nsf/stable/chad_slide4_06302004

> I've been watching the 15 minute video (I'm going to go finish it now) and it looks really good. Put together well - lots of facts and good imagery. I think we can make a difference, guys. We're off to a good start. Hope to hear from you soon.
