It's November. 11/10/14
This past weekend, I had the privilege of going to a dinner on behalf of an amazing organization, "Remember Nhu.' Now, up to the very moment of entrance, I had a very small clue as to what I was doing, and I didn't know who Nhu was. Learning her story has changed my life.
Remember Nhu is an organization dedicated to ending child trafficking through prevention. Child trafficking is something none of us want to think about or hear about, but it is happening all around us, to the tune of 27 million kids PER DAY stuck in this cycle, with 1.2 million being added to this awful industry per year. Here is a trafficking fact sheet with some estimates that back this up.
Troy and Alisa Sherman's (missionaries of YWAM) website found here gives more information about this evil in our society.
This is information I kinda vaguely knew but hearing it from a child who survived it changed me. I want to do something about this. I've got to join the fight to end human trafficking. I have to.
