Hope for Freedom: Collaborate to combat human trafficking

Wed, 27 Jan 2016 00:33:00 GMT

There is real hope on the horizon for combating human trafficking.

It was March 2007, yet it feels like yesterday, when I was listening with a heavy heart and disbelief to a keynote speaker at the launch of World Leadership Day in Sydney Australia. In the case study on human trafficking, the speaker presented all the avenues he pursued to find the daughter of a friend that was a victim of human trafficking. What was so heart-breaking and deeply disappointing was that all the organisation, which existed to deal with human trafficking, responded that there was nothing they could do because it was out of their jurisdiction. Unbelievable! What was their role really?

So this morning when I read the Google Alert: “Engaging Together: Business leaders collaborate to combat human trafficking” I truly felt freedom on the horizon. Human trafficking is $150 billion worldwide industry and combating it is a huge undertaking.

This weekend the Alliance for Freedom, Restoration and Justice (AFRJ) is teaming up with the Freedom Business Alliance (FBA) for an Engage Together Conference for Business Leaders to be held at the Chick-fil-A Headquarters and International Conference Center in Atlanta.

Fundamental Social Transformation - Finland Leading the Way

Thu, 05 Nov 2015 23:38:00 GMT

The Finnish Social Insurance Institution's work for a proposal for a universal state-facilitiated payment for every Finnish citizen, is a heart-warming and truly fundamental social transformation initiative. If fully implemented it would provide EVERY CITIZEN with a monthly tax-free payment of 800 Euros ($1218 USD). This initiative will:

Lift the spirit of Finland's citizen, and inspire seasoned and aspiring social entrepreneurs across the world.
Remove the stigma of "Welfare" that on a deep level impacts a person's self-worth and dignity.
As intended "...provide more stability in citizens’ lives, allowing them to more freely pursue more creative, entrepreneurial, and humanitarian endeavors!."

Congratulations Finland for reigniting people's spirit and leading the world into a brighter future.

We all want to Change the World

Today, 9th October 2015, we are celebrating John Lennon's life and 75th Anniversary around the world.

John Lennon's song "Revolution" has a special place in my heart. It was the opening song of the launch of World Leadership Day on 20 March 2007 in Sydney Australia. Yes, we all want to change the world, and that is what we set out to do with World Leadership Day. Thank you John Lennon, your song made it a special day for me and a special memory for life.
