The purpose of the blind project is to raise awareness of the child trafficking and sex slave industry in Southeast Asia. A group of concerned individuals who aim to protect children from the sex trade industry. Presently, we are planning a trip to Chiang Rai, Thailand where we will serve at a local orphanage. Many of the children there have battled through prostitution, opium addiction, sexual abuse and slavery. The orphanage provides them with a home, education and skills as they eventually grow into self-sustaining adults. We will be there with video equipment to document and interview many of the children. Our hope is to redeem their testimonies and share them with the world. Our funds will help support the various orphanages and after-care facilities that protect children from sex trafficking. On a micro-level, we would love to begin by spreading awareness, especially to the MySpace generation and the young adults of the world. As the project gains momentum and support, our goal is to move towards a macro-level and share these stories to the Thai Embassy, United States government, and United Nations. Armed with footage and powerful testimonies, we will petition for intervention and justice to prosecute the brothel owners and set these children free from bondage.
