Sudan Embassy Darfur Campaign Day #80

NOTE: To help Ellen, the partner in this Sudan Embassy / Darfur Campaign will not be on site at Embassy Thursday 5/24 or Wednesday Thursday 5/31, 6/1. Will be collecting and distributing food for the needy in her stead.

Bathing, Laundry and Blogging at the Washington Peace Center this evening, Saturday.

Returning Sunday early afternoon after helping out at the Washington Peace Center that has been such an extraordinary daily support of the Embassy Campaign.

Next Wednesday for 8 days I will usually be at the Embassy on the usual Marching for Darfur in the morning, but in the evenings I will be assisting friends that have been supporting the Darfur campaign, and therefore absent from the Embassy except mornings and early afternoons. Regarding the Hunger Strike these days, I anticipate dropping Calorie intake to allow for the hours marching that will be sacrificed; dropping to 300-400 calories per day I'll guess - some fruit and a small piece of chicken or fish.

What will it cost us, this killing Darfur by lip service? This post might help you, as it helps me - link.

Modified Hunger Strike continues:

Marching to accelerate weight loss so as to become a visual on Mass. Ave of the forced starvation being visited by our neglect on Darfur; 8-12 hours per day burning up to 3000 extra calories.
Consuming about 800 calories per day to survive for as many months as it takes.
