• The risk of human trafficking increases during the World Cup in South Africa.  Be sure to also read this article for some tips on protecting your children.
• More traffickers are arrested: in Delhi, Nigeria, Mozambique, Florida, Romania, England and New York.  Remember, though, that simply because they have been arrested doesn't mean they will get much more than a slap on the hand.  Please pray that justice will be done.
