The News
A Muslim fundamentalist group called Boko Haram, which stands for Western Education Is Sin, on April 15, 2014, came into a school at night and captured 270 girls. Claiming they should not be educated the Western way, as the students were getting ready to take their final exams. Girls who were studying to become doctors or teachers, had their lives changed and ripped away. Some girls managed to escape, actually about forty or so. No one was notified of this incident for over two weeks, and the outrage is being heard.

“The outrageous threat means the girls’ parents’ worst fears could be realized. Parents have avoided speaking to the media for fear their daughters may be singled out for reprisals,” states Aminu Abubakar and Josh Levs from CNN. Our hearts and prays have gone out for these girls. We want to share the information in order for everyone to always be aware. Human Trafficking and the stealing of our young generation to be sold as slaves is a real happening. Please do all that you can for these girls and girls and boys all around the world.
Our limousine service here in Connecticut is doing our part with what we can and you can too. Hashtag #BringBackOurGirls and spread the word. Also tell the government to take more of an action in getting these girls back, link up with organizations that stop human trafficking and do your part.
