Too Cute Tuesday We’re using this Too Cute Tuesday to draw attention not only to the playful smiles seen here, but the strength of those smiles through ongoing turmoil.  These Darfuri children are seen here at the Merlin medical clinic in Gereida. Explore.org  grants $1 million to aid in emergency medical care here, where normal health care is hard to come by and made less accessible due to the conflict: “Since 2004, Merlin has been providing vital medical services in Darfur, both to thousands of displaced people fleeing conflict and to the equally underserved local communities. Merlin offers comprehensive primary health care, focusing on maternal and child health, disease prevention and health education, through a network of static and mobile clinics in the region. Accessing rural communities is a daily challenge in Darfur and our programs are constantly adaptabed to ensure we can provide vital services to the greatest number of people possible” (Merlin).  Celebrate strength and hope, and find out more at Explore.org.

Too Cute Tuesday Baby humans are pretty adorable too, though their stories are easily overlooked in the world of adults. We’re using this Too Cute Tuesday to draw attention not only to the playful smiles seen here, but the strength of those smiles through ongoing turmoil. These children are the indisputably innocent bystanders in the long-running war (genocide) in the Darfur region of Sudan. Explore.org grants $1 million to aid in emergency medical care here, where normal health care is hard to come by and made even less accessible due to the conflict.  Celebrate strength and hope, and find out more at Explore.org.

From Jordan, we cross the Dead Sea heading northwest into Israel and Palestine. In Hebron, in the West Bank, a human rights organization called B’Tselem (“in the image of God”) provides children with video cameras to document their daily lives. B’Tselem hopes that this positive outlet will lessen violence between Palestinians and Jews. B’Tselem’s mission is “to document and educate the Israeli public and policymakers about human rights violations in the Occupied Territories, combat the phenomenon of denial prevalent among the Israeli public, and help create a human rights culture in Israel.” Check out this short film from the children of Hebron.
