Trafficking and Haiti after the earthquake

  1. See Rev. Mark Driscoll's harrowing reflections on going to Haiti reported in USA today: http://ow.ly/YE1h.
  2. Great work in Haiti- churches are helping churches www.churcheshelpingchurches.org.
  3. Also Nicolette Gramms from International Justice Mission comments "In today's world, the twin causes of human slavery -- poverty and vulnerability -- increase exponentially after natural disasters... Even without the pandemonium unleashed by a 7.0 earthquake, an estimated quarter-million Haitian children are trafficked (into slave labor or the sex trade) within the country each year."
  4. For further information don't miss Richard Brown from IJM in Newcastle coming to speak at Heaton Baptist on March 7th
