Abused.
Neglected.
Raped.
Starved.
And more.
The horrors that they face, the majority of us can only imagine.
Sometimes the best way to keep a bad thing from happening is to take the necessary steps to prevent it. In the spirit of this mentality, the World Race has partnered with several organizations in Southeast Asia committed to preventing the crimes of human trafficking.
These organizations spread the message all across the countryside. They educate locals. They provide alternative opportunities for individuals to make income, opportunities that keep them out of dangerous situations. And the best part is that they spread the love of Christ in the process.
Trevor Curington, January 2010 World Race participant says of Remember Nhu:
There is a lot to finding girls who have a high potential for being trafficked into the sex trade. Some things considered when they chose a girls to join their home is relatives already in the sex trade, broken down homes, parents divorced, no income, no parents, and much more. They have a great system that can accurately predict if a girl will be trafficked. Of all the girls Remember Nhu has brought in, at least 90% of them would have been trafficked into prostitution. So according to this stat, they have kept over 200 girls completely free of this.
The impact of Remember Nhu is huge. It’s imperative to prevent children from being trafficked. Carl Ralston, founder of Remember Nhu, says, “Put yourself in their shoes. Would you rather have been pulled out of prostitution, or have been prevented from ever going into it?”
Below is a video that World Racer Jake Kennedy put together on Remember Nhu.
