In February, bombings and attacks on villages in parts of West Darfur, Sudan, led to an influx of thousands of refugees into the Birak region of eastern Chad. MSF teams have been providing assistance by distributing essential relief items to the refugees and administering nutrient-fortified, ready-to-use foods (RUF) to prevent and treat malnutrition. As a new wave of refugees arrives in Birak from the Jebel Moon region in Darfur, MSF is distributing an additional round of relief items, setting up mobile medical clinics, and organizing a measles vaccination campaign alongside another distribution of RUF.

Nearly 8,000 ethnic Lao Hmong currently confined to a guarded, barbed-wire enclosed camp controlled by the Thai military in the village of Huai Nam Khao in Petchabun province in northern Thailand face the imminent threat of a forced return to Laos. Many of these refugees have told the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the sole nongovernmental organization working in the camp, of a life in Laos spent fleeing violent attacks and persecution, witnessing the murder of family members, suffering rape, surviving bullet and shrapnel wounds, and enduring malnutrition and disease.

When you are doing something do it all the way. Don't go a little bit and then give up. Really mean it, think it out, and give it all you've got. I'm going to re-commit to Doctors without Borders http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/donate/ so that they can get their money's worth out of me. I really would prefer not to have received any expensive promotional material. This was the best lesson of Tyler Cowen's book Discover your Inner Economist. He had some other stuff on widening your taste with art and music too. Also, it is high time we brought down the Republicans, who have really bottomed out. Let's all suggest to them that donations might be in the mail, if only we had some fancy promotional pictures, cunningly made arguments, and dastardly depictions of Democrats to show us how best to funnel our money into their corrupt and evil machine.
