“ROCK 4 DARFUR”

BENEFIT CONCERT
 

 The Lycoming College Black History Month Committee will be hosting a benefit concert for the people of Darfur and Sudan. “Rock 4 Darfur” will be held from 8:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 16 at the Lycoming College Recreation Center. Admission to the concert is a donation of any amount, and all money collected will be donated through Oxfam International.

The event will feature a number of local bands such as Hayley, Sarah Fleck and the Palpatations, Melissa King, Univox, and John Scaranjello, West African Drum and Dance Ensemble. 

Donations will be going to Darfur, a western region of Sudan. Darfur is currently experiencing a conflict where over half a million people have been murdered and another 2 million are homeless. The conflict has been described as a “genocide” and an “ethnic cleansing” in which the government is aiding in the mass genocide, rape and torture of its citizens.   

All donations will go through Oxfam International, a confederation of 13 organizations with partners in more than 100 countries. The organization seeks to find lasting solutions to poverty, suffering, and injustice.
