Searching for Good

Today, Google retained its position as my favorite search engine (sorry, Bing) by announcing an $11.5 million grant to fight trafficking globally.

It's believed to be the largest-ever corporate grant devoted to fighting slavery.

IJM (International Justice Mission) will partner with Polaris Project and Slavery Footprint, as well as several other organizations, to lead the grant's initiative. The initiative consists of three parts:

• Fighting forced labor in India
• Education and advocacy campaigns, also in India
• Mobilizing Americans to act in the fight against modern-day slavery

You can read more about it here. Or... you could Google it (ha.)

And while I applaud Google for this awesome effort, I also have to mention another fantastic search engine that deserves our support. Check out GoodSearch--you can select your favorite charity (like Love146 or many other trafficking organizations) and every time you use the site for searching, they will donate money to your cause.

Turns out that at least for today, you don't have to look too far if you're searching for good.
