I’m riding for girls like Devi. She was released from slavery in a rice mill in an IJM operation when she was only four years old. The International Labor Organization estimates that as many as half of all victims of forced labor are children below 18. Today, Devi’s not a slave in a rice mill – she’s a student in school. I want kids around the world to have a chance at that kind of transformation. So, for other girls and boys who are working today the way Devi once did, I’m giving Five Weeks for Freedom.
