Help STOP Child Slavery!

* In some cases a mere $100 can save a child from slavery. Did you know? * Today 27 million people worldwide are slaves, over 8 million of them are children, with the largest numbers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. * 1.8 million of these children are forced into prostitution or pornography, with the largest numbers in India, Brazil, Thailand, and the Philippines. * Each year 1.2 million more children are forced into slavery. That's over 3,000 per day. * The average age of a girl forced into sexual slavery is 13; girls as young as 5 are sold into sexual slavery and forced to work in brothels. * A girl in a brothel is forced to have sex with as many as 20 customers a night. * Child slaves are often forced to work up to 15 hours a day, in prostitution, agriculture, domestic servitude, mines, rice mills, brick kilns, factories, rock quarries, and as soldiers. * In some cases a mere $100 can save a child from slavery.

Just Tell ...

At Rainbow's End is a proud supporter of Just Tell : website: http://www.justtell.org hotline: 1-800-4-A-CHILD
Just Tell was created to educate and empower children and adults around the issue of childhood sexual abuse. Through the kids’ pages, we encourage children who are being sexually abused to choose an adult in their life who they trust, and to tell that adult about the abuse. We believe we are the first organization in the United States to create and disseminate public awareness campaigns directly aimed at children who are being sexually abused. Through the adult pages of the website we help to educate the adult the child discloses to so that they will better understand what to do to help that child.

What Is This About?

Dry and semi-dry sausages are not the same. Each requires different raw materials and ingredients, and different steps during its manufacturing.
