Amy's Adventures in Darfur

I started this blog when I left for Darfur in June 2006.

It is less political than I want it to be and I have been unable to post stories about certain topics due to the fact that this is on the internet and accessible to anyone.

Two women

these pictures are from a night whose story ("two women")i can't post. it is a night that we tried to keep a girl alive as we waited for her family to come donate their blood to save her life. we waited and waited and waited. they never came.
i like that these pictures are hazy and dream-like as that entire night was hazy and dream-like.
