TAFARI'S JOURNAL ENTRIES

October 2005

"My close friends have lost everything, and many main roads to small villages have been cut off, leaving many people including myself as of yesterday, with dwindling supplies of food and water, and without any guarantee of help arriving anytime soon."

June 2005

"A Graduating Senior’s Reflection on Colorado College"

March 2005

"After three years of living in the Glass "Multicultural" House, I've roomed with a Chinese American from Hawaii who was a staunch republican and concert singer, an African-American sprinter who speaks four languages, and a Navajo linebacker who drinks peanut butter-broccoli smoothies and plays chess better than Bobby Fischer."

February 2005

"Take a social activist who met with Presidents Clinton and Bush to discuss black issues, members of the Nation of Islam, and black farmers who have been discriminated against by the United States Department of Agriculture, and you have one example of a block break at Colorado College."
