In my blog im just going to raise awareness on different social injustice issues around the world, and TRY to give practical advice on ways to help out :)
More children, women and men are held in slavery right now than over the course of the entire trans-Atlantic slave trade: Millions toil in bondage, their work and even their bodies the property of an owner.
27 million people are still in slavery today.
Someone whos helping: Zach Hunter, a highschool student from Atlanta, started a group at his school called Loose Change to Loosen Chains. (LC2LC). It raises money to help free slaves form all over the world. The way they do that is by sending the money into International Justice Missions (IJM). With that money IJM goes to country’s like Cambodia, Laos Vietnam and other places in South-East Asia and goes to Brothels and other slave like places and investigates. “Loose Change to Loosen Chains,” or LC2LC, is a student-led campaign for students who use special LC2LC logoed cups to collect loose change from friends and family members. IJM will use the money to rescue victims of slavery and other forms of oppression.
Zach asked the question, “How do people in severe poverty know that God is good?” The only way they could know that is if God’s people share His goodness with those who have not experienced it.
we can go to dosomething.org to help or volunteer (:
