Check out Sixteen days of Activism Against Gender Violence on the Save Darfur Coalition website.
Today is Day six; honouring journalists covering violence against women in Sudan.I'll never forget what fellow Darfur concerned friend once told me in terms of media coverage about the ongoing genocide and displaced persons in the Sudan.
"Darfur just isn't sexy any more".
It just doesn't generate interest any more.

Well, here's to bringing sexy back.

Two more pockets under the flap- nice for the phone and the keys. (both of which I"ve lost. Shoulda had me one of these bags....)

Oh yes. You can imagine what my days are like out & about trying to generate interest. We're all burning out in frustration..including Darfuri friends. We don't stop, of course, but some days it's all we can do to get out of bed. Seriously.
Thanks for everything. Have not been able to get time to do proper post on you & that's why I've not been in touch. Lovely bag....more soon.

beautiful bag - love the way you combine colours and prints.
Amazing that you have raised $15K. Great going. I am honoured to be part of that.
I've confirmed with my sister that my niece would love this bag for Christmas ... so ... I bid $55 and will keep my fingers crossed!

Hello,
Good evening,
Have I missed this auction? Not sure what timezone this is? I'm in England and would like to bid on that uebercool knitting bag for my girlfriend. Is that still possible?
How would I go about paying for it if I won the auction?
Thanks
Rob
hi Rob- you must be the uber cool boyfriend, or something. You still have four hours until end of auction. You can pay via paypal.
good luck!
I have also added a world time zone converter- both in a post and also in the side bar. Hope that helps.
Did I just buy my niece a funky and ubercool Christmas gift that makes me feel good (and a bit envious)??
Karen
yup, yup, Karen! If you need my mailing address, send me an e-mail to re-joyce@mts.net.
Shipping on this bag will be $10 to where you are.
xo thanks so much!
giulia- so true what you say. I spent some time at your website and hope to soon have my laptop back so that I can spend more time.
Oh. That. Those blogs are for me to let off steam. But welcome:)
xoxo
