We can

Money is such a huge issue in the world today. I work. I get a pay check. That money is divided into many different categories. Some goes to save for college, some goes to pay for Christmas and Birthday gifts, and little I spend. How much of that can I put aside to help end slavery? I am doing the One Girl Prayer Initiative for $10. But I can and will do more. How about you?

$10- can buy a bracelet to remind you to pray for ONE girl in Nepal.

$14- pays for books, uniforms, and a satchel so former slaves in Ghana can attend school for a year.

$92- is the cost per child to rescue a group of child slaves in the fishing industry in Ghana.

$94- provides a year of specialized education for a former child slave on India and helps prevent trafficking in their home village. 

$132- pays for a raid to free child slaves in India who are then helps to recover and rebuild their lives.

$172- provides a family in Ghana the means to start a small-scale business. These efforts help prevent children from being re-enslaved in the fishing industry.

I am saving to pay for these things. We plan on doing some fundraising to pay for some of the bigger things. You can get involved too. Please do.

FIght On

Fight On

I was looking through my email today and saw around four different responses to the emails I sent to stores through Chain Store Reaction. One was encouraging another one was depressing.
It said "Thanks for your email.
I am currently out of the office and will return Tuesday 10th April, 2012.
Kind regards,
Michelle."
I figure if she had time to send this couldn't she have made time to help end slavery.
Today is the 10th of April isn't it yet I haven't gotten another response from her. Actually I got one other email telling me two other people I could try to get in touch with instead of her. Even though it wasn't an encouraging response I am still trying to fight for freedom.
 An encouraging thing that happened today was I asked my mom if I could do the One Girl Prayer Initiative. She read almost the entire Tiny Hands website and said that I would be able to do the prayer initiative.
Teenagers can get their parents involved just by being involved themselves. Don't become discouraged. We are fighting for freedom, for something worth fighting for, and it will pay off.

End Slavery

We are two girls striving to end slavery in the 21^st century. There are 27 million people in slavery today. Thousands of slaves are trafficked into the U.S. each year. Slavery is not legal anywhere, yet it’s happening everywhere.  We CAN end slavery, and we plan on doing everything we can to help. Here’s the catch- we are only 14. To many times teens use the excuse of “I’m too young, or I can’t really make an impact until I am an adult.” What is something you would do when you 18 that you can’t do when you 17, 16, and so on. There is an advantage to being an adult in certain aspects, but this shouldn’t hinder us from doing what is right, right now. We are partnering with Do Something Now and various organizations around the world and in the U.S to end slavery. We encourage you to get involved. Check out the links, watch the videos, and share with your friends. We are the next generation let’s impact this generation.
