Editor, Times-Union: Srey Pov’s family sold her to a brothel when she was six years old. She was unaware of sex but soon found out. A western pedophile purchased her virginity. My name is Jorge, and I’m researching about human trafficking for my English class. I want you to get on the human trafficking Web sites like humantrafficking.org or humantraffickingsearch.net and read about that and try to help them.
Today there are 250,000 child soldiers in some cultures, 40 percent of whom can be girls. Also there are many, many child soldiers who have been used in the past decade in more than 30 countries; some countries are Middle East, Sudan, Darfur and Easter Chad.
One girl, Angela, 12 years old, told human rights watch she was told to shoot a friend when she joined Columbia’s FARC guerrilas. This is an example of a child soldier. So that’s what I want for you to do: visit those Web sites and try to help those countries and the people.
