STARFISH STORY WITH A TWIST
Most of you will know the starfish story by Loren Eiseley. For those who need refreshing, it's about how a man is walking along the beach littered with starfish. He sees a little boy picking up starfish and throwing them back to sea. He says to the little boy, "son! what are you doing? The beach is strewn with starfish! You will never be able to make a difference!" The little boy picks up the starfish and says, "I made a difference to that one." This story is so important. It concentrates on the importance of the ONE. We think this story is inspirational..... but we also have another story... Where there are 27 million people caught up in slavery, we can no longer focus on the ONE. We like to think that the little boy on the street littered with starfish called his friends who came down to help him throw starfish back into the sea, and then they called their friends... pretty soon the whole community was down at the beach helping out.. big diggers representing corporations who got involved and the beach was cleared in no time. Applying this story to human trafficking we are making the point that if we ALL decided to stand up against slavery we would be so much more powerful than one man. The little boy by himself would have been able to make a small dent in the sand if he was commited to staying at the beach all day. The many working together can achieve a far greater result.

We want to encourage you to implement the starfish principle... Who can you align yourself with? Who is someone you can support who is standing up against human trafficking? What can you and your friends do to help eliminate one of the greatest human right abuses of our day? Margaret Mead says: |
