Darfur - background and insights

Tearfund disaster response workers David Bainbridge and Kelsey Hoppe talk about their experiences in Darfur, scene of what the UN have called one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.

Divided into four audio pieces that you can download as sound files, each programme covers a different aspect of the crisis - the background, the reality of every day life in Darfur, what the gospel has to say, and what we can do personally in the face of suffering on such a large scale.

David Bainbridge's talk is taken from an address he gave at his church covering the issues and his personal experiences and insights. Kelsey Hoppe has worked in disaster situations for several years, both in Indonesia and Darfur.
