    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.

    Inaugural 5K Run for Freedom a Success!

    DateFriday, September 25, 2009 at 05:38PM tagged in , ,

    Thank you to all of you who participated, volunteered, or supported International Crisis Aid's inaugural 5K Run/Walk for Freedom this past Saturday. It was a beautiful morning filled with selfless people who are passionate about seeing justice come into the lives of children here in the United States who are victims of this horrible crime. [Still curious about the reality of sex trafficking on "this side of the pond?" Click HERE to link to a great documentary on how this issue works in our "developed" country.]

    For those of you who missed it, here is a little "Top 10" recap of the morning : 

    Thank you to all the ICA volunteers who came super early to make this event a success!

    And they're off...

    Thank you to Joan Johnson of Balloons, Blooms, and Baskets for donating balloons for the a meaningful "balloon release."

    88 white balloons represented the current number of girls that ICA's has rescued. The single red balloon represented the millions who still wait.

    Congratulations to all of our runners for crossing the finish line and being a part of a monumental occasion.

    Thank you to sports radio's "E-Mak" who was our emcee for the event and helped make the day a success! 

    Overall, we had a wonderful run and raised over $20,000 for the first domestic home for trafficking victims in the United States! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED, and a special thank you to the following people who donated their time, resources, and expertise to make this event a great success:
