Great to see you blogging! I really like the layout! I've never seen anything like it. I'm at tedernst.com/wp in case you'd like to visit. I haven't written in a while, but maybe this will be the push I need. :-) Well, it’s taken me two months to get here, but I’m here! :-) Sorry for taking so long. Great to see you blogging!

]]> Comment on What’s Enough for Darfur?? by givingarts http://givingarts.wordpress.com/2007/08/06/whats-enough-for-darfur/#comment-4 givingarts Wed, 08 Aug 2007 14:09:18 +0000 http://givingarts.wordpress.com/2007/08/06/whats-enough-for-darfur/#comment-4 Thanks for your pov, Esther. I welcome you to my blog and am very glad you're here. You know, thinking through it and living the EXPO for the past couple of days, I realize that there is a very short amount of time during which I have the attention of a visitor and our time is spent more wisely talking about what s/he is doing educationally and what type of projects and activities might suit them. So I am not really pushing my big Darfur "idea." I am, however, asking customers if I might put their .05 or .10 change into the tzedaka box for Darfur - everyone agrees to that.

It might be as simple as where the tzedakah box is positioned amidst the boxes that you're selling--I don't actually remember seeing the campaign or the box, even though I did drop in my card. I do know that one of the discussions in the community has been whether we should take care of "our own" first or whether there is a global responsibility to rescue victims of genocide first. Some people connect to one cause and some to another. Don't be discouraged. I’m not sure it has anything to do with Darfur saturation.
