New fundraising project needs your attention: Help a Young Trafficking Victim Reunite with her Mother!

Bulletin from the cause: End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes Go to Cause Posted By: Carol Smolenski To: Members in End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes New fundraising project needs your attention: Help a Young Trafficking Victim Reunite with her Mother! If you check out our homepage, you can see that we have a new fundraising project entitled: Help a Young Trafficking Victim Reunite with her Mother. ECPAT-USA is raising money for "Sara" who was taken from her village with promises of a good education in the United States. Instead, she was forced to work as a domestic slave at age ten. We are trying to raise $7,7500 for her visit home. Read the story below and please help an amazing young woman. The top fundraiser will receive a free luggage tag by Tassatag which helps to raise awareness about child sex tourism (http://www.tassatag.org/). Please share this story and help ECPAT-USA fundraise for this important cause. Sara's Story When she was ten years old, Sara was recruited and transported from West Africa to the United States, lured with promises of a better life and the ability to attend school by a family acquaintance. But instead of going to school, Sara was forced to work as a domestic servant under conditions of isolation, threat, and physical, mental, and sexual abuse for four years. During this time, Sara was told by her trafficker that her mother had passed away. Sara ran away, and with no identification, money, language skills, or friends/family, she subsequently lived on the streets and with men who offered to "help" her, who often sexually exploited and abused her. When she was sixteen years old, she was referred to a social service agency who assisted her with medical care, legal services, and placement within a foster family and school. In late 2008, Sara was able to reconnect with a childhood friend on Facebook. This friend confirmed that Sara's mother was in fact alive, and he facilitated a call between Sara and her mother via cell phone. Her first phone call with her mother lasted for three hours, filled with tears and laughter. They have talked on the phone at least once a week since, and have shared pictures via mail. Sara is now 22 years old, going to community college, working part-time, and is living in her own apartment. She received her green card last year, and is eager to travel home to reunite with her mother and extended family. However, Sara needs financial assistance to travel home to visit her mother. She writes: "I can't wait to see her again. It has been 12 years that I have not seen my mom, my sweet mother, my everything. Right now as I am writing this, I am about to cry because I really miss her and I love her, and a girl grow up to becoming a woman without her mom is the hardest for me. I wish she can see the woman I am, all grown up. I have my own place to live and I want her to be proud of me." We are looking to raise $8,850 for Sara to visit her mother and her home for one month in December 2010. Call to Action Fundraising Project: Help a Young Trafficking Victim Reunite with her Mother!

It was some 22 to 30 years after 1945 before the United States would allow people to see the truth of the nuclear devastation Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This was a human slaughter and the deadly evidence of it, in photographs of the victims, was confiscated by the American occupation forces, and not revealed until 1967, not by the US Government but mainly through the efforts of citizens. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article25307.htm === How the Game Is Rigged Computerized Front Running and Financial Fraud By Ellen Brown How a Computer Program Designed to Save the Free Market Turned Into a Monster. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article25303.htm === Mortgage Madness Let The Fleecing Begin By Mike Whitney The market's in a shambles, decimated by years of fraud and perfidy.

Amnesty : My cell phone fueled Africa's "World War"

Stop armed groups from profiting off minerals found in our cell phones and other electronics: Urge your Representative to support the Conflict Minerals Trade Act. Dear Farhad, A small window of opportunity just opened this week that could finally break the cycle of weapons freely flowing in to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and conflict minerals irresponsibly being mined out. Right now, the House of Representatives is weighing a piece of legislation that would make it easier to identify imports into the United States that contain minerals such as coltan, cassiterite, wolframite - commonly found in cell phones, laptops and other electronic devices - used to fund the activities of armed groups operating in the DRC. If Congress required companies to disclose the origins of the minerals used in their products, then we, as consumers, could be assured that the electronics and products we purchase do not directly finance conflict or fuel human rights abuses. We've been told that if Representatives don't hear from constituents on this issue in a big way by the end of this week, then they are likely to put this issue on the back burner until next year when the new Congress is seated. Don't let this rare opportunity slip right through their fingertips. Send an email to your Representatives right now and urge them to co-sponsor the Conflict Minerals Trade Act. The link between the raging violence in eastern Congo (often referred to as the center of Africa's "World War") and the complex multimillion-dollar trade in conflict minerals is undeniable. A recent report by the UN found that armed groups in eastern DRC continue to control and profit from the extraction and trade of these minerals.1 If passed, the Conflict Minerals Trade Act would go a long way in regulating this industry and ultimately restricting the ability of armed groups to benefit from conflict minerals. Representatives can ensure that critical protections like these are enacted to help promote peace and security in the DRC: Improving standards for transparency and accountability from companies involved in the extraction and trade of these minerals Mapping the mines currently under control by armed groups Providing support for further investigations by the UN Group of Experts We must do our part to let Congress know that we care about where these resources come from. Help us break this cycle of violence. Tell your Representative to do everything possible to stop mining that fuels human rights abuses in the DRC. Thank you for taking action, Scott Edwards Director, International Advocacy (Africa) Amnesty International USA

The spoon: A Lesson on how Consultants can make a difference in an Organization.    Last week, we took some friends to a new restaurant - 'Steve's Place,' and noticed that the waiter who took our order, carried a spoon in his shirt pocket.    It seemed a little strange. When the bus boy brought our water and utensils, I observed that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket.    Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired, 'Why the spoon?'  'Well,'he explained, 'the restaurant's owner hired Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) to revamp all of our processes/procedures. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently  dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour.  If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.'  As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he replaced it with his spare. 'I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now.' I was impressed.    I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter's fly.   Looking around, I saw that all of the waiters had the same type of string hanging from their flies. So, before he walked off, I asked the waiter, 'Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?'   'Oh, certainly!' Then he lowered his voice - 'Not everyone is so observant, he said. That consulting firm I mentioned, also learned that we can save time in the restroom.  By tying this string to the tip of our you-know-what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39%.'   I asked quietly, 'After you get it out, how do you put it back?' 'Well,' he whispered, 'I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon.'

Violence erupts in Thailand

Clashes between Red Shirt demonstrators and Thai Security Forces leave 23 dead and nearly 900 wounded. Join Amnesty in urging all parties to respect human rights and the rule of law. Dear Supporter, In Thailand today, a sea of red-shirted protesters organized by the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) once again took to the streets demanding dissolution of Parliament and new elections. Similar protests launched this past weekend by the UDD resulted in bloodshed and death. Thai security forces used water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition against protesters. Eyewitnesses reported seeing protesters fire assault rifles and attack soldiers with makeshift weapons and explosive devices. After Saturday's unrest, hundreds were injured and 23 people - including security agents - were killed. Call on the authorities to refrain from using unnecessary or excessive force against protesters. The UDD has the right to organize peaceful protests. But they should be undertaken with respect for the rights of others and the rule of law. The Thai government should respect the right of the protesters to gather, and use force only as a last resort and to the minimum extent possible. Over the past several decades, Thailand has made considerable progress in the advancement of human rights. But today the country stands on the brink of a crisis that could devastate that progress. We welcome the Thai government's pledge to promptly investigate violence and abuses by all sides. But the state of emergency decree, passed by the government days ago, confers immunity on anyone carrying out emergency powers in good faith. In other words, Thai security forces have sweeping policing powers to crack down on violence at all costs. That means all tactics from brutality to web and news censorship are fully permitted and currently being employed. We've got to steer authorities from this dangerous path now! Urge Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Minister of Foreign Affairs Kasit Piromya not to abandon or sideline human rights during this state of emergency.
