The Tranquilo Traveler
The Tranquilo Traveler is a celebration of voluntourism, slow travel, and other interesting ways to see the world. Travel writer and award- winning Moon Handbooks author Joshua Berman created The Tranquilo Travel as a resource for world trippers and international volunteers, a window to the author’s travels in Nicaragua, Belize, and beyond, and an update of his books and articles.
More on “China’s complicity in the Darfur slaughter”
Not to be an Olympic party pooper, but this message resonates: “Think for a moment about all the time, money and effort that has been spent to stage the Beijing Games. Now think about the time, money and effort that has been spent, over the same time period, to help the people of Darfur…. Now that China’s complicity in the Darfur slaughter is known to all the world, we invite you to help us keep the pressure on China to bring security to Darfur.” [LINK to the Darfur Olympics]
And from AJWS’s website: “You may know that NBC plans to devote an unprecedented 1,400 broadcast hours to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but did you know that NBC has spent less than seven hours focusing on the genocide in Darfur since the conflict broke out in 2003?” [LINK]
