Just Relationships, to me, means open honest, relationships with integrity. When considering the trajic results of Human Trafficking, one quickly surmises that there is nothing just about what you see and feel.  According to Business Traveler Magazine,  ”Human Trafficking is modern day slavery.  Each year, more than eight hundred thousand people are sold into slavery across international borders. There are over twenty seven million slaves in the world today. The sale of people creates the second largest black market estimated to be worth over $9 billion dollars.

Modern day slavery effects every nation. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates nearly eighteen thousand people are trafficked into the United States every year. They are forced into the sex trade, used for slave labor or confined as domestic workers.”

Eighty per cent (80%) of slaves around the world are women and girls, while 50% are children. This is due in part to the high demand for young female sex workers.

Below are photo progess updates from the orphanage being built in Thailand. We are almost ready to lay block.  Also these are some of the kids that will understand Just Relationships because someone cared enough to make a difference.  Thanks for doing all you can to help Neill and Diana Gilbert build this orphanage.
