I've traveled to 40 countries and seen the horrors of child sex trafficking firsthand. Most children and teens are sold into trafficking because they don't know what they're getting into. Wherever awareness materials are available, the rate of trafficking plummets; there are just not enough materials available, nor in every language, nor targeted to the very kids who are at risk. That's why our non-profit organization, PawPaw's Pals, Inc., has launched the "Not For Sale" child-trafficking awareness project to educate at-risk children around the world. We're creating children's books, curriculum, parent materials, and more--all to create awareness about child trafficking with the ultimate goal of ending it. For more information: www.pawpawspals.org notforsale@pawpawspals.org

I am too grateful to you for taking a highly important and neglected issue by many christians, and arousing a burden for the cause. Geo Abraham,Kerala, India.

Thanks for your work in highlighting this amazing cause. I'll be adding you and the donation site to my blog about fighting sex trafficking. (http://seasonoflight.blogspot.com) Wish this could be your championed cause every year :)
