POSTCARD CHALLENGE PRIZES:
The Devil Came on Horseback
A DVD documentary starring Brian Steidle
The Devil Came on Horseback exposes the tragedy taking place in Darfur as seen through the eyes of an American witness who has since returned to the US to take action to stop it. Uses the exclusive photographs and first hand testimony of former U.S. Marine Captain Brian Steidle.

The Sudan Project:
Rebuilding with the People of Darfur
A book by Melissa Leembruggen
The Sudan Project is an engaging, informational book which helps educate young people about the life of displaced persons in the Darfur Region of Sudan, Africa. This is more than a book about the people in the Sudan, however. It is about ordinary people and the fact that everyone can make a difference in this world.
