Free The Slaves 07/31/2010

You're already sitting at your computer so please spend slightly less than 15 minutes today by watching a video from Free The Slaves. The website has a lot of options on it for both action and education, and I suspect you'll find something more you will want to do. Modern day slavery is an issue we don't know enough about. Watching this video will be a great way to spend your fifteen minutes, and then you can take it from there. This one is an eye-opener.

Here is an eye-opener in terms of what you could do if you had $1.00 a day to give away. Women Thrive develops, shapes and advocates for policies that foster economic opportunities for women living in poverty. They believe that women are the key to ending global poverty. or as they say--"When you teach a woman to fish, everybody eats." The $1.00 opportunity here is explained on this page. Simply put, you are going to pledge $1.00 each day for a year by joining the Dollar-A-Day Circle.  This is a great website--check it out.
