God has given me a heart for those in sex trafficking. I’m not quite sure what He has up His leave regarding my involvement, but I know He has placed the desire on my heart.
Yesterday I was reading a post from one of my favorite bloggers, Jeff Goins. He caught my attention and called me to action.
Seth Barnes, the director of Adventures in Missions released this statement:
Backed by corrupt government officials, an orphanage we work with in Haiti has been trafficking its orphans. Suspecting foul play, we’ve been investigating for the last year. We’ve not been ready to go to the media until we had the facts.
As a result, the orphanage director is now in jail, but the 75 children left in the orphanage are still in danger.
A worker said, “The kids are in terrible condition — the doctor gave them some prescriptions, but we doubt that the medicine will ever be administered to the children. Instead, the medicine will probably be sold.”
What does this mean?
According to Goins, donated monies aren’t getting to the people in need. Children are missing. An eleven pound five-year old is on the verge of death.
A petition has been created to get the story on the radar of CNN.
