I recently read the book Half the Sky, and my feelings after reading this book are best described in the words of Tom Brokaw
"Half the Sky is a passionate and persuasive plea to all of us to rise up and say ‘No more!’ to the 17th-century abuses to girls and women in the 21st-century world. This is a book that will pierce your heart and arouse your conscience. It is a powerful piece of journalism by two masters of the craft who are tireless in their pursuit of one of the most shameful conditions of our time."
I now feel compelled to do something..but what can I do to stop sex trafficking of girls, women and children in red-light areas and slums in India? Thanks to Victoria a very special facebook friend I thought of a small way I may be able to help Apne Aap, this is the organization which is changing the lives of these girls. Here is their website-
http://apneaap.org/homepage
During the month of December if you purchase any item
from www.PureSynergyFitness.com
I will donate 50% of my commissions to
to Apne Aap. I will mail/email you a receipt to let you know the amount that was donated in your name!
If you have any questions or concerns you may email me at priaorth@gmail.com and of course feel free to make a donation directly to http://apneaap.org/homepage if you would rather do that.
If you have EVER thought about purchasing a beachbody program NOW is a great time to do so, I will also give you free coaching and your purchase cannot only help you become fit and healthy but will give a young girl access to education, livelihoods other than prostitution, and safe housing by organizing themselves in small co-operatives. It works in Bihar, Delhi, Maharashtra and West Bengal. Apne Aap means self help in Hindi.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog.
