About this Fundraiser

Opportunities and understanding are expanding for many because of globalisation. Traveling has become so easy and cheap to most of us in a developed country. But not everyone is enjoying the result of globalization. The same resources that connect us also allow traffickers to exploit those at-risk for pleasure, profit, and power. Children with lower levels of education who live in underdeveloped rural communities need desperate help. They are targeted by recruiters for sex-trade or other dangerous work.

I am a dreamer and I wish I can help as many children at risk as possible. My My ideal goal is to run a non-governmental organisation in scuba diving industry to provide educational and occupational opportunities for those at risk. Therefore, I've planned to further develop my scuba diving qualification in the coming March and April in Thailand. And I would like to start helping those minorities in Thailand now. 

ACCORDING TO ESTIMATES OF THE 2016 GLOBAL SLAVERY INDEX,425,500 people live in conditions of modern slavery in Thailand. It was also suggest that over 60,000 children are sexually exploited for commercial gain in Thailand each year. Therefore, I am asking my friends, travelers and those who think human trafficking should stop to donate to The Freedom Story.

The Freedom Story is dedicated to prevent child trafficking & exploitation through scholarships, mentorship, & resources for at-risk children. It was born from a documentary film called The SOLD Project. When founder Rachel Sparks learned about child sexual exploitation in Thailand, she decided to expose it through the power of film. After interviewing dozens of sex workers, common themes became apparent: poverty, a lack of education, and a lack of options. Rachel responded by providing a scholarship to an at-risk student, and The Freedom Story was born.

The scholarships and resources empower at-risk Thai students to stay in school, pursue their dreams, and break the cycle of poverty and exploitation. The efforts in the US are centered on telling dignifying stories that encourage people to become a part of changing our world for the better.

For every 45 USD to The Freedom Story, you can sponsor an elementary school student for ’s worth of expenses, every 60 USD donated to organisation will provide a high school student with sponsorship for one month expense, every 100 USD donated will provide a University and Associate student with sponsorship for one months’ worth of expenses.

*There will be 5% of the total fund deducted by the Pure Charity as operation fee. The rest of the found goes directly to The Freedom Story.
