Stop The Killing in Darfur, June 15th

Our next Amnesty Fukuoka event is on Sunday 15th June from 4-6pm at Asumin NPO Centre (2-6-46 Daimyo (5F), Chuo-ku - next door to the fire station on Meiji-dori).

At this time you can learn about and discuss the current situation in Darfur and find out how you can help. Everyone is welcome and we will try to make the event as bi-lingual as possible. As well as hearing a presentation and watching some films, we will also do some letter-writing so that members can make a difference right away! These letters will be our ammunition in bringing about change in the war-torn region where atrocities are taking place everyday. So please come and spend your Sunday afternoon with us, and then join us for food and drinks afterwards if you have time.
