Are you a Changemaker?

I think you are!
Humanity United and Ashoka's Changemakers has launched the
"Ending Global Slavery: Everyday Heroes Leading the Way," collaborative
competition (http://www.changemakers.net/en-us/competition/freedom).
The competition aims to find holistic solutions to modern-day slavery by recognizing individuals and organizations that raise awareness of the issue's root causes, liberate those in bonded labor, and reintegrate former slaves into their communities.
The deadline for submissions is June 18. Go create a profile, enter the competition and become my buddy! http://www.changemakers.net/en-us/user/jruwart

Hi Jennifer,
This is Supriya, whose article you read on the pulsewire. I am sorry for replying late as I was in the field in India and Nepal and was assisting grass root groups who carry out raid and rescue operations and free children and women and men from forced labour, forced prostitution and any form of slavery and rehabilitate and re-integrate them.
I am based in Delhi, India and working with Free The Slaves as South Asia Director,www.freetheslaves.net
keep in touch.
Thanks
Supriya
