Helicopters For Darfur

Peacekeepers who are heading to Darfur are in need of helicopters; that is the only efficient way of travelling across the deserts of Sudan. Twenty-four helicopters are needed for this peacekeeping mission, but no country is willing to provide any helicopters. The countries in NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) alone have over 18,000 helicopters, but none are being provided to help end the genocide in Sudan.

Of course, the kids at Norton High School don't have helicopters to donate, so what can YOU do to help? Sign the petition to President Bush, asking him to send helicopters and keep his promise to help end the horrible situation in Darfur! Just follow this link: http://www.savedarfur.org/pages/helicopters and sign the petition.

Remember, helping the world doesn't always require your money, just your VOICE.

I signed the petition! Very easy, I would recommend this to anyone. It takes only about 30 seconds.

Many people believe that they can't help with an issue that is happening thousands of miles away, but it's easier than you think! I hope that more people can take the time to sign the petition!

I also signed the petition! If saving Darfur is something that concerns you, signing the petition is a great way to show your effort. Helping in this way is in everyone's reach!
