The Darfur Olympics is a protest to keep the spotlight on the people of Darfur during the Beijing Games. If you do not want to watch China glorify itself during the Games, we have created an alternative opening ceremony -- a one-minute celebration of Darfurian children. And, every day for the first week of the Games (August 9 to 16) we will show a new daily webcast report from Mia Farrow from a Darfurian refugee camp. Visit darfurolympics.org to take action and learn more.
