Help Break the Chain of Global Commercial Human Trafficking of Children.
There are well over two million children currently suffering in captivity in the world today. They are sex slaves. These children are abused daily, thousands of them being imported every year into developed countries like the United States and Canada. These children range from toddlers to teenagers. People have been talking about this problem for some time. But these children don’t need more talk. They need action.(1)
The “Underground Grinder” is a charity event to raise money and awareness for Operation Underground Railroad Rescue (O.U.R. Rescue) – an U.S. based organization that sends teams to the darkest corners of the world to help local law enforcement rescue kidnapped children from slavery and the illegal sex trade of children.
