It really happens...

I learned about something tonight that I thought only happened in movies. The school I'm going to has a team going to Cambodia this summer to work with an organization that brings people out of sex trades and trafficking. It's shocking. I think that everyone should at least be aware of it. I realized, after reading some of the information about human trafficking, that this is what the children at Wisdom Springs have been taken out of. It seemed so subtle when we were there, but this is far bigger than I ever realized. It's a rude awakening... If you want more info you can get it here.

it's hard to believe that the heartbreak is such a reality for so many; i was just reading a little about this from pakou (one of the team members).

i miss you girl; i am enjoying reading your blog! i hope things at simpson are going well; i'll bet it's so different now from the year we were there together! you got more years and life experience down; i bet it adds even more to your perspective in classes AND out. we'll have to discuss it over animal fries this summer. love u caca!

May we be faithful to do our most honorable part in it all; to pray & intercede for the nations. Our God is faithful to heal, set free, mend and bring justice when we are faithful to cry out & ask Him!
