More blackboards mean that teachers can leave lessons up, making it easier to review lessons the next day and gives students the opportunity to take notes after class.

Darfur 10
In early 2003, Ethnic African Sudanese rebels calling themselves the Sudan Liberation Army attacked an outpost of the Arab Sudanese government in a protest over the mistreatment and neglect in the Darfur region of Western Sudan. In response the Sudan government armed, funded, and mobilized Arab "self-defense militias," – the Janjaweed - which are accused of carrying out atrocities against local black Africans: Raping women, destroying villages, food stocks, and other supplies essential to the civilian population. They have driven more than one million civilians, mostly farmers, into camps and settlements in and out of Darfur where they live on the very edge of survival. The SLA rebels, composed mostly of orphaned children, continue to patrol Darfur, skirmishing with Sudan government forces and the Janjaweed.

Since 2004, CHF International has been working with displaced Sudanese living in the camps to implement nearly 20 separate livelihoods activities, including mat and basket weaving. These efforts are helping to ensure that those living through the traumatic experience of internal displacement are active participants in efforts to improve their own lives–while the crafts-specific projects such as mat and basket weaving also help to preserve critical cultural traditions. The baskets are also being marketed in the U.S. through a partnership between the Crafts Center and CHF International and the Amber Chand Collection which has recently launched the Darfur Basket of Strength. The Amber Chand Collection: Global Gifts for Peace and Understanding is a mission-based enterprise that fully supports women in regions of conflict and post-conflict. The baskets are available for purchase at www.amberchand.com. Learn more about the basket weaving project, or support CHF International. Adam Bernstein/CHF International
