Orange Cupcake Project

        
 27 million people worldwide are victims of the monstrosity we know as human slavery, or trafficking. This is a tragedy against mankind. Men, women and children are held against their will and forced to work in uncomfortable conditions and often physically and sexually assaulted. They are stripped of their identities and treated worse than animals. Often food is withheld from them. How do people become victims of human slavery? Parents sell their children, people become indebted and are forced to become slaves, others are tricked, sometimes, it happens because of war, and other times people are kidnapped or have their lives threatened. There are a variety of causes to this great crime against humanity. No matter the cause, the victim in the incident would need to be rescued and healed from this traumatic event. Slavery is NEVER okay. This is because God created every one of his children equally and wonderfully. Any human who thinks they are more important or superior to another one of God's children is terribly mistaken and committing the sin of pride. Slavery has no place in this world. Unfortunately, people all over the globe are terribly confused about this. As a Christian, it is my job to spread God's truth. That's why I have to do this. My goal is to raise $3,333.33. I plan on doing this by selling cupcakes and orange clothing/accessory products. Why orange? Orange is the color of freedom. It's a color of possibility and determination. It's not the prettiest color, but it IS an honest color. It's stubborn and it doesn't give up. I plan on making headbands, t-shirts and bandannas that are orange and have the word "FREEDOM" in caps stenciled across the front. I'll give all the profits to charitable organizations dedicated to ending slavery. Updates will follow!
