        DARFUR. What is happening? What can be done? A special evening sponsored by Storrs Friends Meeting (Quakers) will focus on the humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan which has now claimed 70,000 lives and driven 2 million from their homes. Addressing the issue are three outstanding speakers: Chris Allen-Doucot, a social activist who recently visited Darfur as part of a Catholic Worker peace team; Dr. Amii Omara-Otunnu, executive director of the UNESCO human rights chair and ANC Partnership at the University of Connecticut; and Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim, a.k.a. Mohamed Elgadi, a Sudanese human rights activist and a torture survivor of the Sudanese regime, now works for the American Friends Service Committee on immigrant and refugee issues. 
        The program will take place Friday, Jan. 28, at 7:00 p.m. at Storrs Friends Meeting, located at the intersection of North Eagleville Rd. and Hunting Lodge Rd., in Storrs, CT. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (860) 429-6803.
