In order to confront the issue of HUMAN SLAVERY in Ohio, the United States, and internationally, we the students at Ohio University intend to sacrifice ourselves and our resources in order to speak up for the poor and the helpless. We will accomplish this by reaching to obtain justice for those who cannot speak for themselves and by bringing awareness of the issue to the people around us.
As we work to get this group off the ground, please pray for the founders. As we attempt to get the word out about the group, recruit people to join us, and teach others about the issue of human slavery, please pray for those whose ears hear our message. Most of all, pray for those who are enslaved, who face torture and pain everyday, for those who feels that no one cares.
Our name, Naming the Tears, comes from a wonderful poem by Andrea Gibson. which is below. Although the poem deals with sexual exploitation, we are confronting all types of slavery. We want to help those who are suffering know that people do care, and are fighting for them. We want them to know that their tears do not go unseen, their cries unheard.
I hope you will join us in our journey.
