Co-hosted by the Enough Project and the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, the evening featured a benefit art auction, followed by presentations from community leaders.

People talk about “compassion fatigue” when they talk about the state of activism around the Darfur genocide these days. But nothing could have been further from the truth at Calabasas High School near Los Angeles last Monday night, where nearly 300 students from about a dozen area high schools turned out to rally with Jewish World Watch for the Darfur Dream Team’s Sister Schools Project. In a unique and generous partnership, Jewish World Watch has partnered with both area high school students and the Enough Project to raise funds to build two schools in the Djabal refugee camp in Chad to provide a building, teachers, and school supplies for over 4,000 high school students in the camp.
