Do you want to hear your fortune?

“Come and hear your fortune!” is what you read in a sign, without knowing that the fortune tellers may be trying to recruit you for forced sexual exploitation.

Lourdes Barbosa, a former governmental officer in Paraguay, explains that fortune tellers may tell their clients that they will have a travel opportunity accompanied with good economical gain. After the session, while walking in the street, a person will approach the victim and offer travel and job opportunities to Europe or the USA. The naïve victims usually feel that this is a sign and that they need to go for it. They do not know that, in the destination countries, they will land in the hands of traffickers.

Hello David and the rest of Not For Sale- <br />
I met you recently at the Jubilee conference in February, and lost your card to email you directly about this (and couldn’t find David’s email anywhere on the site). I wanted to know information about hosting an event for David to come speak at, and how the details about that could be worked out. The event likely would not be until anytime between October 2008 and April 2009. </p>

<p>As a related note to the blogs, thank you for creating a space that regularly updates the public about your experiences. They are heart-breaking, some uplifting, and give more reason to be praying for the thousands out there who need help.
