#StopSlavery Day 8
I shared a link earlier today from International Justice Mission https://ijm.org detailing the abuse and suffering of enslaved children in Ghana. I lived in Ghana, Africa and know the majority of Ghanaians are wonderful, hospitable people and would never hurt anyone. However, there are some evil people in every country.
” Child slavery on Ghana’s Lake Volta is brutal: IJM investigators met children as young as 4 forced to work in brutal conditions. They saw children with “distended stomachs, scars from beatings and physical abuse, skin diseases, hair falling out, and open sores and wounds.” Slave owners work them tirelessly without food and make even the smallest children dive deep to untangle nets, often leading to drowning.”
I want my daughter to know her mother stood up and did something to fight evil and injustice. We raised $250 so far. I am respectfully requesting that you donate something to #StopSlavery.
