‘Conflict In Darfur’ At The Library, Feb. 13

Global Voice, the student global advocacy group at Newtown High School, will make a special “Conflict in Darfur” presentation on Tuesday, February 13, from 7 to 9 pm, at C.H. Booth Library.

The students will host a screening of The Promise, an award-winning documentary produced by students from Danbury High School. Since 2003, it is estimated that over 300,000 people have been killed in Sudan, with millions more displaced from their homes and at risk of starvation. Spurred to action, these students produced the eight minute documentary, in an effort to educate and motivate the public about the ongoing genocide.

Following the film’s screening, students from both schools will shed light on the current conflict. Snow date will be March 8.

Call Kim Weber or Margaret Brown at the library for more information.

The library, at 25 Main Street, can be reached by calling 426-4533.
