I live my life by taking any lemons that come my way and squeezing them into lemon aid. You shouldn’t let anything get you down, you’re alive, you’re healthy, you probably have people that care about you, so what’s stopping you from squeezing those lemons and making some lemon aid with it?

The Body Shop LemonAid Campaign launched today at www.lemonaid.thebodyshop-usa.com where The Body Shop is taking some of life worst lemons such as sex trafficking and raising money for ECPAT USA and the Somaly Mam Foundation (Up To $10,000 will be donated) to help stop this awful crime.

ECPAT International has a global network of organizations committed to stopping the exploitation and trafficking of children for sexual purposes. Through enacting initiatives on local levels as well as providing support and education, ECPAT continues to advocate for children everywhere.

The Somaly Mam foundation was started by its namesake founder, herself a survivor of sexual slavery. After escaping her captors, Somaly Mam began this organization to help support other survivors as they rebuild their lives by providing emotional and economic support. Somaly Mam also creates global awareness raising initiatives to make sure that the issue of children in sexual slavery is not ignored.

I’m sure it sounds surreal to your reality but these crimes are happening everyday and The Body Shop wants to do their part to help put an end to these crimes.
