I’ve started a google calender here with listings of events in and around Toronto that deal with international issues, from health to human rights.  They include fundraisers, speakers, movies, art exhibits, galas, and anything else that fits, and its updated every week.

AMREF Canada and GuluWalk present… Winner of the documentary directing award at the 2007 Sundance film festival and the audience award at the 2007 Hot Docs festival: Set in northern Uganda, a region ravaged by more than two decades of civil war, War/Dance tells the story three children whose families have been torn apart, their homes destroyed, and who currently reside in a displaced persons camp in Patongo.
