Many times I get asked, "what do you do in Thailand?" And many assume I am some form of digital nomad, tourist or some sort of journalist. When I tell them I work with orphans, children with HIV and children at risk, they almost don't believe me.
It's as if they don't want to believe that our world is capable of such terrible malfeasance. It's hard for people to swallow that nestled in the northern hills of Thailand women and children are bought and sold like livestock. That children as young as 10 months old are being raped over and over and babies are found in garbage cans.
I AM FIGHTING A WAR.
I am fighting so children around the world can have the fundamental rights that every human deserves.
I am fighting so 8 year old children do not have to be the sole caretaker for their mothers dying of HIV.
I am fighting for innocent children who are literally tossed away because they are a byproduct of someone's twisted reality.
I fight to protect children so every moment of every day they know they are loved beyond measure and will forever be safe.
I fight because there are sick people in this world that view precious lives as commodities; as a means to a sick and distorted end!
I CANNOT FIGHT THIS WAR ALONE!
One solider cannot single handedly win the war!!!
We need an army to rise up united! To stand together as we infiltrate the darkness and evil seeping into our world!
NO LONGER can we stand by as children cry out in fear without any protection!
NO LONGER can we allow self entitled men to exploit tender young women and children simply for bragging rights and ego boosters!
Will you take up the fight?
Will you do your part to ensure precious lives are protected, or will you stand by and watch as whole generations are being annihilated because no one would fight for them.
I will not stop fighting everyday and even though I get weary and worn, my mission is clear!
I Fight for those who cannot fight for themselves!
