    About ICA

    International Crisis Aid began in 2000 by delivering humanitarian aid to "no-go" regions of war-torn Southern Sudan. Since then, ICA's programs have expanded to include feeding, medical, orphanages, disaster relief, girls' schools, community development, and rescue from sex trafficking. As an established non-profit, ICA serves children and families in need from Cambodia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Korea, Indonesia, and Sudan.

    National Human Trafficking Awareness Day-- 2010

    DateMonday, January 11, 2010 at 11:39AM tagged , , in ,

    What is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day?  

    January 11, 2010 is a day set aside for all of us to unite and help spread the word that SLAVERY STILL EXISTS and that together we can make a difference! The more people who know the more people we can mobilize.

    We are asking that all of our supporters help educate their family, friends, co-workers, and peers about the reality of human trafficking. On January 4, 2010 President Obama signed a proclamation declaring that January is “National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month,” acknowledging that SLAVERY STILL EXISTS -- YOU CAN BE A VOICE OF CHANGE!  

    HERE ARE SOME WAYS THAT YOU CAN HELP:  

    Follow our tweets all day on Twitter and RT to your network!

    Share this with your friends.

    Post this link on your blog or Facebook page. 

    Make a donation to contribute to our SAFE home for women who have been rescued from trafficking right here in the St. Louis area.  

    To learn a little bit more, you can watch this video to hear about the trafficking issue from ICA Staff, Jennifer Jones.

    Join us again on February 1st for National Freedom Day!  

    Between now and then snap a photo of yourself spreading the word about slavery.  Be CREATIVE, write in the snow, make a shirt, sign, or whatever else you decide and send it to cdodson@crisisaid.org for a chance to win a gift card from Starbucks and a SAFE campaign t-shirt!
