Rachel Sparks, I'd Love to Meet You

I'm a displaced Hoosier, so it warms my heart to see a fellow Indiana girl like Rachel Sparks taking the lead to raise awareness about child sex trafficking throughout the state, and the country.  Rachel, if you're ever in the Northeast, give me a shout and I'd love to grab coffee with you--and see your documentary.

My mother actually called me this week to tell me about an Indianapolis Star article she saw highlighting a woman with a passion for ending child sex slavery: a woman who happens to be named Rachel Sparks.  Rachel has produced, and is currently promoting, her documentary The SOLD Project: Thailand, which is described as "a collection of short films showing the reality of child prostitution in Thailand.  The central theme to our media is that hope exists, though this issue is dark and complex." 

I'm so impressed with the looks of this film, what The SOLD Project is doing, their realistic optimism and handling of this cause, and their dedication to doing something big.  After you're done reading this post I would recommend jumping over to their website, and maybe even Rachel's blog.  And all of you great people at SOLD, if you happen to catch this blog, let me know what I can do to help--it would be an honor.
