Universal Children's Day!

Hi there everybody!  Guess what today (November 20th) is?

 

Universal Children's Day!

 

Isn't that exciting? :)

I just thought I would share this because as you may know.  Not many kids get to really "be kids". You know what I mean?  They have to work every day all day long, they and their parents are treated wrong.  They are beaten, and most of them are deprived of basic medical care, this is the plight of many children and their parents trapped in the bondage of forced labor slavery.

 

 

Then there are the children who are captured, taken from their homes and trained to become child soldiers.  I have to say this is one of the most horrid forms of slavery that I have learned about, you can read more about it in David Batstone's book: Not for Sale - the return of the global slave trade and how we can fight it.
Read about and get the book here.

 

Children need a defender, will you stand up for them?
