Sitting at the airport in Cambodia reflecting over my week here and I just cannot shake the stories that I have heard.  I cannot shake the images that I have seen.  I cannot shake the frustration, anger, and compassion that I feel for the people that are trafficked and exploited because of greed and lust.  Right now sitting within 10 feet of me are a group of ten young Khmer girls who are boarding the flight to KL with me.  They have a brown envelope, a boarding pass, and a fresh passport that has never been used.  They like thousands of others have been recruited by a Malaysian company to come and work for them as a domestic servant or possibly in a restaurant.  What will happen to these girls?  A number of things is possible.  One option is that what is promised to them actually happens. They will become someone’s maid but only to find that they will not make as much money as promised.  A second option is that they will end up in a brothel forced to repay the debts of the people who trafficked her to this new environment. They have never been on an airplane before.  They have never been outside of Cambodia.  I can see that they are afraid, nervous, and excited at the same time.  But what can I do?  I can not know the fate of these girls by just assuming that these two options will happen.  I have to sit here and wonder what will be there fate. I have to pray that more people will become aware of their situation globally and get involved and do something.

I can upload this video and wonder how many people will take a few minutes out of their busy day to watch it?

By becoming aware we become responsible and our responsibility must lead us to action.
