Maroon 5 - Memories (Cover) One Voice Children's Choir

Thoughts on 134 days of quarantine. 

Recently I became aware that there are criminal organizations involved in the kidnapping and trafficking of young children. There are true stories of children who have been taken from their families and are sold as sex slaves throughout the world. It makes my heart sick to even think this can happen to innocent children. These are little children as young as five. 

These children are tortured and raped and horribly abused and this isn’t just happening in other areas of the world. Many as 8,000 children a year are sold into the United States as sex slaves.  I was not even aware that such thing even existed. And that number is even higher in other countries. There are millions worldwide that are victims of this situation. As a child advocate that I am, I can’t believe I was not even aware that such thing even existed. Where have I been?

I feel completely ignorant for not having understood what a massive problem this is. And I feel shock to think that this sort of thing goes on in civilized countries like the United States, a country founded on freedom and liberty for all, yet there are sick minded people that would purchase little children as slaves of the worst kind and take away their innocence and freedom. 

“It’s the greatest poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.” – Mother Teresa

A group of Navy Seals, Green Berets and CIA and FBI agents have come together to form Operation Underground Railroad. They are specializing in retrieving these enslaved kids and returning them safely to their homes. Our world need to know about what is happening behind doors and be willing to step up and do something about these problems rather then turning a blind eye. Check them out!  http://www.operationundergroundrailroad.org/ . 

I feel grateful for the people who are willing to step up and do something. Whether we give of our time, talents or money, we all can find a way to give. To end in a good note combating the insane world we live in, here is a nice video of children singing that melt my heart. 

Con amor,
