Stop Child Trafficking Now Honolulu Walk

This Saturday, Hawaii takes a stand by walking.

The Stop Child Trafficking Now Honolulu Walk goes down this Saturday morning at 7:30am at Fresh Cafe on Queen St.  This walk is a rally and a call to arms for those who are against the practice of child sex slavery. These walks have been held all around the country, as people take a stand against predators buying up our children.

The 2010 walks began in April and will continue throughout the month of October.  This weekend is Hawaii’s turn.  The doors of Fresh Cafe will open at 730am this Saturday for the walkers and the walk up Ward Avenue (now gaining notoriety as Hawaii’s new Red Light District) begins at 9am.

To register as a walker or to donate to the cause, click here.
