THE
COOKIE*
Jamming For Darfur
Jewish students were plentiful at the
Band Jam held Saturday night at the West
Bloomfield JCC to raise awareness of and
raise relief money to fight the genocidal
warfare in Darfur. The Sudanese govern-
ment, using its air force, Arab Janjaweed
militias, and organized starvation is sys-
tematically killing the black Sudanese of
Darfur (www.darfurgenocide.org ).
In October, West Bloomfield High
students Hannah Hakala and Haley Stern
were in Sociology of Genocide class dis-
cussing the horrific situation. As mem-
bers of Teens Making Changes (TMC),
the youth component of the Greater West
Bloomfield Community Coalition, they
have been involved in organizing many
activities for their peers.
The Band Jam at the Inline Hockey
Center at the JCC is another example.

Darfur refugees and West Bloomfield's
