(Ohio is ranked in the top 5 of Human Trafficking states. Scary.)
It's so awesome to see the amazing things that are taking place in our city, especially by empowered youth. Right on. Faith does not simply mean sit back and just pray for God to fix the world's problems. If you feel called to fight against the injustice of this world, then do it. I'm am constantly surprised and in awe of the every day, average person creating change. I firmly believe we are the answer to problems of this world.
This weekend I hope to be volunteering with the Fair Trade Market at the Freedom Center. Between 11 a.m. and 4p.m. you can get into the Freedom Center for free. There will be donation boxes set up throughout the Freedom Center for you to help the cause of raising up abolitionist to fight modern day slavery. Along with participating in the Fair Trade Market, you will also be allowed to experience the other exhibits at the Freedom Center. Here are a list of vendors that will be selling items such as clothing, jewelry, toys, handbags, etc.. There is also a Freedom March after the market has closed, which will end up at Sawyer Point where a concert and celebration will ensue. You can park at the Central Riverfront Parking Garage for $4.50
There will also be speakers at the Freedom Center. Srey Neth, who was victim of sex-trafficking, will be sharing her story. I highly encourage you to check out the event this weekend if you live anywhere near Cincinnati. Read more about the Unbound Movement here.
This video breaks my heart and gives me hope all at once. To see her smile and laugh after all she has been through is amazing. What strength; what courage. Many blessings to this girl. May she live a long and healthy life so she can continue to help other victims become survivors.
