Human Trafficking: Stolen People, Stolen Hope

This morning there is more news from LCWR. Yesterday there was a panel on the work of sisters in working to eradicate human trafficking. It was covered by a local St. Louis TV station. Watch the news video here:

There is also a new article about this panel on the website of U.S. Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph.

The title is Human Trafficking- Stolen People, Stolen Hope

Those who followed the coverage of the July 2011 Federation Event of the Sisters of St. Joseph will recognize Kim Ritter and Katie Rhodes who spoke at that event. The work continues and there is still so much to be done. Thank you to all who are so passionate about this crime of modern-day slavery.

    With humility, I have pleasure in bringing to your attention my new novel REINCARNATED COMMODITY – "Phenomenon that refuses to die”; one of a series of three novels by Raymond Ladebo, published on Amazon eBook.com – available on Kindle which allows you to read on Kindle, iPad, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Mac, and PC. It is an advocacy styled fictional story contributing to the awareness raising efforts to eradicate Human Trafficking, Modern-day Slavery consciously presented from an African perspective. To quote President Obama, "it is barbaric, it is evil and it has no place in civilized world".

    “IVIE, Abiku-spirit child, only child of her middle-aged mother, was smart and graduated from secondary school before fifteen. She was sponsored to travel abroad for further education by her paternal Auntie Esomo who'd arranged with her wealthy daughter, Blessing, to assist her little cousin to Italy. The relentless attempts by a ruthless Madam to coerce the innocent teenager into prostitution cartel lead to unexpected consequences....."
    The scarred girl's trials and tribulations propelled her from Italy to Britain, Egypt, and the United States of America where she was fortunate to find freedom

    It is available on Amazon eBooks.com- http://www.amazon.com/REINCARNATED-COMMODITY-ebook/dp/B007BIODHK/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1334753379&sr=1-1 OR

    It is hoped you’ll read this fascinating story and recommend to your friends and contacts in particular among educational institutions and the Non Governmental Organizations involved in the anti-slavery organizations, and the Child Rights International Network, UNICEF; UNFPA; UNIFEM, plus other UN Humanitarian Agencies.
    With gratitude and our best regards
