Set Them Free!
I read a story on the Internet about modern slavery in Thailand.
Climate change has forced farmers off the land and their debts have been bought up by unscrupulous companies which set them to work making bricks.
The debts of course just keep increasing and their children are expected to take over the debts when they die.
This is modern slavery.
Surely rich Westerners could find it in their hearts to pay off the debts and set them free.
Alternatively a campaign could be started on the Internet to to raise funds to pay off the debts.
It is only the hardness of our hearts that is stopping us from doing these things in our modern world.
I pray that we will open our hearts and set them free!
