Fasting for Darfur
As we told you during the Weekly Wrap-Up, Mia Farrow, who was participating in a 21-day fast for Darfur, had to stop last week after warnings from her doctor.
However, several others have stepped up to finish the fast – including Jon Foreman of the rock band Switchfoot, Congressman Donald M. Payne, and Richard Branson.
This fast is helping me remember that after all we have accomplished to end the genocide in Darfur, there is so much more to be done. At Leakycon and beyond, the Harry Potter Alliance is going to keep having things that we all can do to help stop this genocide. At Leakycon, we’ll also be having an interactive program on the current situation in Darfur.
To learn more about the fast for Darfur, you can read Mia Farrow’s blog or the Darfur Fast for Life website.

I think this is a wonderful idea and I am committing to a one to two day fast, during which i will only drink water, and actively raise awareness about Rwanda, the Congo, and Darfur when people inquire why. You are an inspiration, Mia!
