Dear Family and Friends,

The i-ACT team has safely arrived in N'djameena and shares with us their first impressions of the city. Gabriel, Connie, and Yuen-Lin introduce themselves and they talk about   more...their mixed feelings. They feel honored, humbled, and responsible to make a contribution and help the Darfurian people return to their homes. We all need to feel this responsibility. Please help us by completing the Daily Actions and taking the 10 Day Challenge.
