Give Hope to Haiti's Forgotten Children
If I tell you today there is an estimated of 17,500 people enter the United States each year to work as slaves would you believe me? Well it’s true! Among them are the forgotten children of Haiti. Just off the coast of Florida a person can travel to Haiti for as little as $50.00 they can buy a child and bring them to the states. These children are some as young as 3 years old, they are use as sex slave or to perform various chores around the house. There are over 300,000 of children living in slavery in Haiti - taken from their families in the rural villages or given up by desperately poor parents for the promise of a better life, a promise that is rarely kept. They are whipped and abused, forced to fetch water, mop floors, wash dishes, care for babies not much younger than they are. They are forbidden to eat at the table and are forced to sleep on concrete or dirt floors. They rarely get any schooling. Let’s give hope to these forgotten children. |
