slavery.

Sometimes when get to wrapped up in outer beauty - our clothes and makeup and so on - we completely forget about other (even more powerful) aspects of beauty. I'm talking about of course inner beauty. I'm talking about being pure, beautiful souls. You know- taking a stand against injustice, standing firm in what you believe, be kind to everyone, and living beautifully!This particularly comes to mind when I think about organizations like International Justice Mission (visit this BEAUTIFUL organization here). Often times, we as Americans (maybe not everyone readying this is American though) don't think about or even know about the injustice that is destroying and killing beauty around our earth. Think about this - Each year, nearly 2 million children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade! That's a disgusting fact. It makes me a little sick to my stomach. And then there is also this - 27 million men, women and children are held as slaves. Did you think slavery didn't exist anymore? Don't worry- it is a common misconception, but it does need to be stopped.

I know often we think- what possibly could I do? A lot! You can be aware of this! Outraged by this! and you can take every opportunity to not let this happen. IJM (International Justice Mission) is asking for support to help end slavery. Click the banner above to see what you can do (and you don't have to spend a dime if you don't want to)! :)
