Day 11: Announcement

  I am very pleased to announce that as of this post, I will be cowriting on this blog. My very close friend recently brought up the idea of co-writing, and since she is also very strong in her faith, I agreed. We both want to be missionaries when we're older, if not now. So, with that announcement, let's begin.

  Hi everyone, I'm T. N and I have basically always known each other and are really close. We both love God and want to change the world for the better (hint, the blog title), and we love Africa. I know it's already been blogged about, but I want to bring up Kony.
  Think, living in constant fear of waking up in the night with a hand over your mouth, forced to be a soldier/slave, and if you anger your captors, tough luck! Really think about that, and then add the fact that you may not know when your next meal is or if you'll have a roof over your head tonight. If you even want to live. This is what children are going through in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda, children, regular kids like you and me, but without the money, without the blessings, many even without hope or God's love. And then think, you can help. You, you can be a part of helping a child in Africa. There are a zillion ways you could help out, Samaritan's Purse, the Kony campaign, or just spreading the word. Every bit counts, who knows, God could use you to save a life, to change the world for the better.

     Okay, now I want to start off by saying that this is an uncomfortable subject for most people, but I strongly feel that it needs to be addressed: Sex trafficking. I know, tough subject, but it's important. I first got introduced to this concept on The Rebelution and I instantly felt the need to post about it on the blog.
     Consider this shocking fact: Every year in the United States, between 100,000 and 250,000 children are trafficked and sexually exploited. Human trafficking isn’t just problems overseas—it’s happening in our own backyards.
     Can you believe that? And out of the fifty states, there are only ten support groups. I believe that we need to lend a hand and stand up for the children being sexually exploited.
