I was both disturbed and touched by Somaly's journey. After reading the article I spent the next few days thinking 'I wish I could so something....anything.' Then I decided that I could do something, even if it is small. I would like to contribute some money to Project Futures, a not for profit company who aim to empower and engage a generation in raising awareness and funding to combat sex trafficking globally.
So this was my idea: if I could get ten of my friends to donate $10 each, that would mean $100 contributed to the organisation. Cool. But why not give my friends something cool for their ten bucks? Introducing, the Somaly Mam Party Pack! Each pack includes:
- My latest zine, shown in the picture below, and judging from Mara's excited expression, it's a riot!
- A Summer Time Party Mix CD - 14 slamming tunes chosen by me specifically for summer lovin
- Information about Project Futures and Somaly, including the article that initially inspired me
- A glowstick
- Mara's Mystery Gift
All this, enclosed in a cute recycled paper pack. There are only ten so you must get one. You simply must.
