What if you had been given the chance to prevent the genocide in Rwanda?

What would you have done?

What if you had the chance to bring peace to Sudan?

What would you do?

Sudan is at a life or death crossroads and the fate of its people hangs in the balance. In early January, 2011 the people of southern Sudan will vote on a referendum that will determine if the country of Sudan should be divided into two separate countries…north Sudan and south Sudan.

For Faculty

In an effort to support your incorporation of global issues into your syllabi, CRS offers a robust listing of articles, books and Catholic Social Thought related to issues of international poverty and development. These resources will work well both for classroom use, and potentially for your own research.

For Campus Ministers, Social Justice Staff, and Students

Together we are making a critical difference in the world. Because of our joint efforts, congressional legislation is reflecting global needs, individuals are receiving the care and support deserving of their human dignity, and campus communities are being transformed. Let’s passionately continue our work!
