Human Slavery

My favorite part about working for Giving Children Hope is all of the really cool people we get to meet and partner with to bring about positive change in the world.

Last night I was invited to the Hollywood premiere of Call + Response. Please, if you are going to see a movie this month, go see this film! Justin Dillon is a musician turned filmmaker to bring awareness of the issue of human slavery. He has a star-studded cast of activists, celebrities and bands. The best part, Justin made a film to not only bring awareness but funding to projects. What a concept.

I’ve blogged about the film before and I know Justin for some years now. The film is being released this weekend in limited release and the first project they are going to fund is a clinic in Thailand in partnership with Giving Children Hope and the Not for Sale Fund. We are excited to have product that comes in our facility in Buena Park travel to Thailand to make a practical difference against human slavery!

See a special thank you from Justin himself to Giving Children Hope http://www.gchope.org/the-power-of-you20.html. And be sure and buy tickets to the film if it is playing in your area!
