Mia Farrow Starts Fund 4 Darfur

Actress/Activist Mia Farrow has started a new fund to help Darfur. The organization, Fund 4 Darfur was started to help aid the over 2.5 million displaced people who depend on humanitarian aid for survival. Specifically, the money donated will be used to help survivors of the Darfur genocide.

Mia Farrow conveyed her dismay over the lack of outrage regarding the situation in Darfur. "One white woman in peril with a teddy bear has captured more media attention than the past three years of our brothers and sisters in the Darfur region," she said. "I look back at what we were doing during the Rwanda situation and in America we were watching the O J Simpson trial."

Good causes will always have to fight for their place in the media spotlight, it’s unfortunate that time and resources are wasted on stories of little relevance, like Brittany Spears, and Paris Hilton.


Thank you Ms. Farrow, it's nice when you hear of someone using their celebrity status for something so worthwhile
