Only in America! This is what this country is about

America does a lot of philanthrophic activties. But to keep our feet our on the ground.. the following is also another face of America from this news article – Herberet : The hidden slave trade:

“Leaf through the Yellow Pages in some American cities and you’ll find pages upon pages of ads: “Korean Girl, 18 -Affordable.” “Korean and Japanese Dolls – Full Service.” “Barely Legal China Doll – Pretty and Petite.” The Internet and magazines have staggering numbers of similar ads. Thousands upon thousands of women have been brought here from Asia and elsewhere and funneled into the sex trade, joining those who are already here and in the business but unable to keep up with the ferocious demand”

The 'projects' tab leads to some conferences that Rani attended. The only thing I could find is a proposed shelter in Washington (under the 'shelters' tab), which hasn't been started yet. Am I misreading?</p> <p>They don't have a presence on <a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/">Charity Navigator</a> either.</p> Wow, amazing stories!

They don’t have a presence on Charity Navigator either.
