A21 Walk for Freedom Mount Maunganui - 20 Oct 2018

Hayley from Judea

This October 20th in cities around the world thousands of people will join the annual ‘Walk for Freedom’ – to raise awareness of, and funds to fight, the $150 billion industry that is human trafficking. Banks Reserve, Banks Avenue is the launch point for Mount Maunganui’s ‘Walk for Freedom.’

The 3km walk is to raise awareness about modern day slavery and also fundraise for the amazing organisation A21 that works on the front line to rescue, rehabilitate and prevent human trafficking. A21 has 14 offices in 12 countries around the world with the aim to reach, rescue and restore. A21’s mission is to end slavery. There are an estimated 40.3 million people trapped in modern day slavery. Come raise your voice and be a voice for the voiceless.

Participating in the walk costs nothing more than two hours of your time. And all are welcome.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

Shame on You!

Lisa from Otumoetai

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
