Global Wonders: from slavery to beauty

Cherish-1005Colour What are the best ways to help women and children who are trapped in destructive situations?

A few years ago I made some new friends who had been involved in the early days of Servants Anonymous Foundation, a organization of new abolitionists that rescue women and children from sexual slavery.

As a Christian organization, the SA Foundation believes in the importance of vision that is based on servanthood, personal recovery and community while focusing on the long-term objective that no person be trafficked into the sex trade and remain trapped in a life of sexual exploitation. (from Who We Are)

Begun in Calgary, SA’s influence has spread into British Columbia, the United States, Nepal, and is being introduced to even more places around the world.

SA’s recovery strategy includes job skills training and business initiatives. One initiative out of Nepal is Global Wonders Handicrafts, which produces knitted wool products, two lines of jewelry, and home decor (esp. baskets).

Global Wonders jewelry now has an online store. Please browse and consider this:
