Rachel and Carly learned about Darfur through a course they took at Colorado State University. Their initial idea was simply to raise a small amount of money to donate to an organization working on these issues. They figured they could create and sell some t-shirts about Darfur, and donate the profits. Little did they know how successful this venture would be, and where it would lead them.

"We came up with a conceptual design and actually found a graphic artist who did the work for free as he had been to Sudan," Rachel explains. "We ordered the shirts and before we even received them they were sold out. It was that simple. And thus was born Deliver Darfur, our not-for-profit, student-run advocacy group."
