2. 27 million of slaves
There are more slaves today than
were seized from Africa in four
centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave
trade. The modern commerce in
humans rivals illegal drug trafficking
in its global reach — and in the
destruction of lives.

India, along with Thailand and the Philippines, has 1.3 million
children in its sex-trade centers. The children come from
relatively poorer areas and are trafficked to relatively richer
ones. (Soma Wadhwa, "For sale childhood," Outlook, 1998)
In cross border trafficking, India is a sending, receiving and
transit nation. Receiving children from Bangladesh and Nepal
and sending women and children to Middle Eastern nations is
a daily occurrence. (Executive Director of SANLAAP, Indrani
Sinha, Paper on Globaliation and Human Rights"

About 5,000-7,000 Nepalese girls are trafficked to India every
day. 100,000-160,000 Nepalese girls are prostituted in
brothels in India.
Bought for as little as Rs (Np) 1,000, girls have been known to
fetch up to Rs 30,000 in later transactions. Girls may not
leave the brothels until they have repaid their debt, at which
time they are sick, with HIV and/or tuberculosis, and often
have children of their own. (Soma Wadhwa, "For sale
childhood," Outlook, 1998)

9. How We Can End Slavery
By Kevin Bales
One of the world's leading experts on modern-day slavery;
Director of Free the Slaves;
Professor of sociology at London's University of Surrey
Roehampton;
Consultant to the United Nations on slavery and
trafficking.
To bring people to freedom and to end
slavery, three things have to happen:

10. How We Can End Slavery?
1 - Public awareness has to grow,
and there has to be public
agreement that it is time to end
slavery once and for all.
2 - Money needs to be spent to eradicate
slavery, but not nearly as much as you
might think.
3 - Governments must enforce their own
anti-slavery laws.

11. Imagine that after 5,000 years of
slavery we commit ourselves to
achieving its eradication in our
lifetimes.
Imagine that your children and your
grandchildren will grow up in a world
where slavery is just seen as an ugly
blot on our history.
Imagine a world where every person
is born in freedom and lives in
liberty.

12. All this is possible, just follow
these three steps:
1. Learn! Become aware of how slavery
touches your life. For more information
Visit: www.freetheslaves.net
2. Join! Work with others who want to live in a
world without slavery. Free the Slaves is one
American organization fighting slavery worldwide.
3. Act! Bring your strength and imagination to
ending slavery.

13. Do you think its impossible?
Do you think you cannot do anything
about?
Could you contribute anyway?
You have something do give. . .
You’ve got a seed do sow. . .
May I show you more. . .

25. Seed to Sow

Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Omutima gwo gukulung 'aamye
Buli muntu alina ensiigo (in Lugandan)
One thing I know
Everybody's got a seed to sow
let your heart of hearts
Take you down the road
Everybody's got a seed to sow

26. Some people quietly reveal
In the manner of the meek
Some people shout the way they feel
To a radical degree
Some people sing it to express
While others hear another call
Some people speak with subtleness
Some don't rely on words at all
But let me tell you 'bout...
We all are pieces of the whole
With different feelings to evoke
Giving distinction to the role
Different players-different strokes
But let me tell you 'bout…
Some people walk
Some people race
Some people vary in their pace
But God can use what you can give
Within the mystery of His ways
Don't underestimate...
