I have a dream.............

What do you do when you see a need? A need that breaks even the hardest heart? Cross the road? Ignore it....you are busy with so much after all! Tell yourself you cant make a different maybe?


When you see figures like 27,000,000 Stolen or sold! Human trafficking! Children sold like cornflakes. That figure is like the population of Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern England! Imagine! Its hard isn't it?


However, it becomes very real when you think of a thirteen year old girl you know. Imagine one day she disappeared. Imagine if that same girl was taken to one of the most evil places on the planet and was abused daily. Having to have sex with smelly old men. Imagine her crying out daily. Imagine her numbness. Her pain. Her tears. Are you angry now? Sad that thousands of thirteen year olds live this nightmare today?


I have avoided being graphic to protect your innocence. However these thirteen year old kids need to be heard. Liberated and cared for. They deserve a life before death not a living hell.

Now I know many of you have not had the joy of meeting many of the liberated girls we support. I can tell you many stories all day long.


So to my dream? I dream that I will have your support. Yes YOUR support to push a shopping trolley from Tesco's most Northerly Store to their most Southerly store in Scotland. The trolley will be redesigned to receive £1 coins. We will look to fund raise at every store and all along the path. Stopping at churches, shopping centres and anywhere were people are. About 350 miles.


You see that thirteen year old girl needs a voice. YOUR VOICE.


The money will support the awesome work done in Nepal by people who spend every penny wisely. You may never get to meet the girls who are rescued and rehabilitated. Or maybe you will be so moved you might go there yourself. I might get to share their stories but I will live forever knowing I did not ignore her voices.


How can you help. Firstly, send your pound! Could you push a trolley in the rain and cold believing and share the message that children ARE NOT FOR SALE? Could you drive a support vehicle some days? Could you support us on facebook. Could you care?


I hope as you have read this blog you have heard the girls voice. Please do not cover your ears...............
