06.25.08 | Sun5's Home to Darfur featured on new Darfur Documentary
Tents: The Patchwork Project is the first of three short films that will cast a glimmer of hope on the desperate situation in Darfur. Follow as the children of the Tents of Hope campaign open their hearts and minds to the people of Darfur. We see them paint one side of canvas panels that are then flown over to children living in Darfur refugee camps who paint the other side, creating a bridge between the two cultures.
The story also shows Katie-Jay Scott and Gabriel Stauring of "Stop Genocide Now" as they are caught in the crossfire of rebel and Chadian troops while waiting to return home from their humanitarian work.

It’s a hopeful and inspiring film that illustrates the vital and innate connections of humanity. A fantastic educational and entertaining tool for all your gatherings, fundraising efforts, tent-painting parties etc. and a perfect introduction to Tents of Hope, Tents: The Patchwork Project can help raise awareness and inspire more people to get involved in stopping genocide forever.
