I’m not sure if you saw this on CNN or not. It’s a short video about a woman who is helping to pull girls out of the sex industry in Cambodia.

Here’s an article I found online too.

When I see or read these types of things, I am overcome with emotion. It’s hard to imagine living like that and knowing that the ones that normally protect us (parents) are the ones that don’t for so many around the world. Knowing that there is no one that you can go to for help has got to be the worst feeling in the world, especially under such horrible circumstances.

After visiting Cambodia and meeting so many people from there, I felt like I couldn’t just read an article, pray for them and go about my day. It’s changed me. I know that I have to be involved in some way. I’m grateful for my cushy life, but at the same time, I’m saddened, because I have known no hurt like they know on a daily basis. And they are just little girls. I can’t go about my life as though I don’t know these things are happening, because I know that they are, and I know that I’ll be held accountable for the things I’ve learned. So I sit here, nearly in tears, watching the videos and reading the reports. I’d like to be there, doing something, but I know that’s not where I’m supposed to be right now. I’ve given and I’ll continue to do so. I pray, now more than ever. I’m looking for more ways to help because no one should have to suffer like that. I hope that I can do things on a greater scale in the future. Why else are we here but to love others?
