A21 Walk for Freedom

This will be the first post of many advertising this upcoming event organized by a friend.

There is an upcoming walk to abolish modern-day slavery coming up in Ottawa.

Grab a friend on October 15 and come down to the starting point at 227 Elgin Street at Lisgar. Time: 10:00 AM.

Please register at www.a21.org/ottawa

You can learn more about A21, the sponsoring organization, here, and how they hope to combat human trafficking.

These stories aren’t always about women from foreign lands. It can be someone local, who is separated from family and community, and falls in with the wrong group of “friends.” Reminds me, actually, of the importance and power of family and parents in protecting children. (A tie in with my day job.)

Here’s a little video clip, one girl’s story, from their web site.

So please come and support this walk come October 15!
