My wife received this email on Thursday:
Hey Rocky,
Just checking in to see how things are going? We have a project in October that you may have some good leads on. I know you do work around child slavery and the sex trade- we will be working with hundreds of children in Cambodia and do need assistance in trying to raise funds. I thought you might know of a good lead or two. Here is an overview that I will send out in the next day or two …
Hope you are well,
Eric
Mothers Fighting For Others is trying to assist with raising the funds. To find out more, click here: $1 Can Help Over 3000 Children Today.

“A judge in Miami on Monday dismissed a lawsuit alleging the ruler of Dubai enslaved thousands of children and forced them to work as camel jockeys, saying the suit fell outside the court’s jurisdiction.” Yahoo News.
As it stands, there will be no punitive measure taken for the enslavement of child camel jockeys. Reparations in the form of financial compensation is viewed as the “exclusive remedy.” The United Arab Emirates recently banned the use of child jockeys and sent more than 1000 child jockeys home. They have been replaced by robot jockeys.
