These industries are particularly vulnerable to the global economic downturn. We need to focus our efforts on our natural strength, which is agriculture, not tourism or textile.

Human trafficking is the third most prevalent crime in the world behind drug trade and illegal arms sales, and is growing faster than both of them.

I just attended an event here in Colorado where they showed the NFS documentary and representatives from Polaris, Praxus and CONEHT (Colorado Network to End Human Trafficking) were present to do Q & A. It was put on at a local church by two women, Kendis Paris and Molly Wolfe who got stirred up about the human trafficking issue. They are putting together a Human Trafficking Awareness Conference on October 25, 2008. I’ll be helping them with promotion & fundraising. It is an issue that needs more awareness and it’s grassroots efforts like this that help.

My earlier comment was too tame. It’s too shocking. Too real. Too desperate! We must each do whatever we can… Let’s all support and proclaim

NOT FOR SALE!

Thank you, Dave, for raising awareness. I have heard James Robison and other ministers as they shared their valiant efforts to ease pain and suffering in various African countries. (Among other things, he drills fresh water wells.)

Thanks again.
