Teens take a stand against genocide

The walk was to raise awareness to genocide around the world, and raise money to support Jewish World Watch projects that aid refugees and survivors of the conflicts… SAN DIEGO — Six tents stood at the edge of a University Town Center park, each featuring a blood red number.

Eight hundred thousand in Rwanda. Two million in Cambodia. Four hundred and fifty thousand — and counting — in Darfur. The staggering figures represent people killed because they belonged to a specific racial, political, religious or cultural group — the kind of atrocity that Sunday’s Third annual Walk to End Genocide hopes to combat.

Roughly 250 people, including Congresswoman Susan Davis, attended the event hosted by Jewish World Watch, an organization that fights against mass atrocities.
