Gennocide Intervention Fund
|
| | DC/PENNSYLVANIA: An organization working on raising awareness of the gennocide in Darfur and raising money to fund peacekeeping there, asked TFC to come in to give it a hand. Despite the organization's growing rapidly in the past ten months (from two volunteers to 25 staff!), its morale has sunk to a low. TFC did a one-day intervention to help the organization re-focus and move through some of its internal morale blocks. (July 2005)
