Creativity Wanted
Monday, December 05, 2005 by Sam DavidsonIn hopes of raising awareness about the reality of genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan, Sam writes every Monday about a key issue in an attempt to stop the atrocity. Doing so may not bring about a wave of change, but it is a small ripple that represents the tide that needs turning.
Creativity, one of the most marketable skills someone can have, could help to end the genocide in Darfur.
mtvU and The Reebok Human Rights Foundation have teamed up to offer $50,000 to the person with the best idea to get the message out that the genocide in Sudan needs to be stopped. The contest details are available here, and will award the best digital media project that raises awareness about the horrors occurring in Darfur.
So get creative. In the 21st century and beyond, skills like creativity and adaptation will keep you employed. Use these skills to also keep people alive.
