Rewinddddd
Mowing the lawn multiple times in one Saturday to earn enough money to finance my wish list, basketball, boys, breaking driving rules, avoiding curfew, cutting out magazine clipping to tape to my bedroom wall... sounds shallow eh? or pitiful and purposeless.
Embarrassing... these were probably my highest priorities in high school.
Wowzers: Over half of all victims of human trafficking are under 18 years old. This is not only tragic, it is empowering to realize the importance of young people's potential to prevent this illicit trade.
Growing up I could recite the obvious, don't talk to strangers and don't climb into creepy vans with men who offer you candy. But imagine if kids were more educated on this widespread social injustice, not only for their own protection and prevention, but for fueling them with a passion to help enslaved kids just like them (rather than being consumed with what dress to wear to prom).
Start Freedom, a dynamic new global project that aims to engage and raise awareness among young people, helping them learn about the issues surrounding human trafficking.
