The "Jumbo Jet" Currency Of Human Trafficking :: MAXINE
Today is FREEDOM DAY (March 25th, 2007) --- GET INVOLVED AT THE BASE LEVEL OF "HUMAN RIGHTS" AWARENESS - "Wherever two or more are gathered in my name" - Proceed To Intercede ---
Slavery costs five (5) Jumbo Jets full of people their freedom each day seven days a week and, really, no one is aware (based on a Boeing 747 capacity of about 400 seats). If a Jumbo Jet crashes and it wipes out all who are on board, everyone in the world knows it happened - investigations take place and answers are sought.
Slavery has NOT been abolished in this world. Slavery - HUMAN TRAFFICKING - is a major business enterprise worldwide. Slavery is even a bigger business than that of the software giant, Microsoft.
Frankly, this problem of Human Trafficking is a larger problem than the war on terror. The United Nations, and major leadership countries of the civilized world seem powerless to do anything to stop it. Their (our) eyes are NOT on the ball.
We at MAXINE were made aware of the issue of Human Trafficking this last Sunday through a Christian based presentation delivered by Steve Chalke, founder of the Oasis Trust and a UK Baptist minister.
The recent release of the movie "Amazing Grace" highlighted the decades long struggle to win the hearts and minds of the people who benefited from the Trans-Atlantic slave trade out of Africa that ended just 200 years ago ... but the job is not done ... not by any stretch of the imagination.
Child sacrifice is STILL a very important ritual performed by some tribes in India.
We in the western world do not want to believe that this sacrifice ritual happens in this world anymore, but as Steve Chalke elaborated during his presentation on Sunday, buildings will not get built in the major cities in India without the labor of members in tribes that continue to believe that a human has to be sacrificed in order to appease their GODS for placing the buildings (modern technology) on the land. A blind eye is turned so that modern development can progress. Unwittingly, outsource projects from the West end up killing children in India.
This is beyond shocking to the average Western mind. An "Apocalypto" world still exists and human child sacrifice is still practiced and facilitated through human trafficking in the world's largest (most populous) democracy - India.
At MAXINE, we say get educated and involved. This activity against Human Trafficking will do more for humanity and the world than most any other effort. Find or sponsor a Freedom Day in your area.

Nice one. Most people think that slavery has been consigned to the dustbin of history, but nothing could be further from the truth.
