Tents of Hope National Coordinator
Within our communities, the tent is a symbol of our solidarity with the uprooted people of Darfur, Sudan. It is a visible sign of our commitment to transform suffering into hope through compassion. By placing the tents in our communities, we are saying to the people of Darfur, "You have a place on this earth." The tent is sacred ground because it ties our destiny to the destiny of the people of Darfur. The tent connects us as one human family on the journey toward ending genocide and creating a peaceful and just world. With this sense of solidarity, we will never give up until the people of Darfur are able to safely return to their homes.
