One of my absolute favourite (if not my favourite) charities/organisations is The A21 Campaign, founded by Christine Caine (author of Undaunted), a Christian organisation fighting for freedom from modern day slavery and a an end to human trafficking.
I recently ordered my wristband to show my support of the campaign, which has been a great conversation started (I recommend it as an easy 'in' for sharing about the amazing work that they do!), in the run up for a charity event that my friend Sharmila is organising. It is called Run 3K for Freedom and it is a 3km run on 6th July 2013 (12pm), in Pages Wood, Harold Wood, RM14 1JT.
There are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in human history, with an estimated 27 MILLION in bondage across the globe. Men, women and children are being exploited for manual and sexual labour, against their will.
No one can do everything but everyone can do something.
TAKE ACTION NOW and raise awareness of human trafficking by running 3K!
Tell everyone what you are doing and why + help make a difference!
Entry Information:
£5 entry fee. Entries in advance: Apply now - Send your name and your email address to run3kforfreedom@gmail.com and you will receive more information...You will also receive a race pack (including a t-shirt!) before the day!

Having completed my 365 day challenge to post a tip, organisation, cause, issue or inspiration every day for 1 whole year (2012-2013) to help each of us to figure out how we can make a difference to the world we live in, I decided to continue posting! I am now volunteering in Los Angeles and working with victims of human trafficking. Stay tuned for more on that and I hope you will be inspired to start where you are and use what you have to bring on world change! Blessings! Ronell x
