Why this passion that grips my life?

The steam rose from the lush growth of the tropical rain forest as it covered and cooled us; we started up the center of the river heading towards the falls.

As I glanced to my right, toward the shore, I saw a white man pay a man and woman for the “use” of a 3 year old baby girl. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Could this be happening right in front of my eyes? I was stunned. Shocked. Sickened. We were too far away. I cried. I lost my lunch over the side of the canoe, as we watched him rape his little girl.

My life focus, as of that moment, and my destiny was forever and always changed from that moment on.

Statistics today show us that this problem of sex trafficking and victimization is growing exponentially fast and our work will continue to be a life’s work. – Dr. Cyndi Romine
