Change Your World - Quest 2

Hey people! We have just completed Change Your World Quest 2. CONGRATULATIONS! =]
Our first activity was to unlock the secret code by following the instructions given in a sheet of paper.

Before the instructions; there was a short poem which says:

Hello young friend, the Chosen One,

This map is a treasure compared to none,

It's up to you to unlock the secret,

A world changer you'll be, when this journey is done.

Stray not from your path, despite temptations aplently,

Vertical or horizontal moves will ensure your safety.

Take one box per step, patience is the key,

Persevere in one continuous journey, and change you will see.

We dilligently solved and my group was the first to finish decoding the "quote".

COMMIT 2 ACT & BUILD.

After that short and brief activity, we watched several videos (including the one featuring the 1 A.M band and the CYW tour!) on 3 MAJOR ISSUES in the world. I wrote down the stats yesterday. Here it is :)

Sex trafficking - 2.5 million victims, it has been tolerated and growing, youths ranging from ages 18-24. Prostitution.. SOBS!

Modern slavery - there are 27 million slaves in this world! Ouch, hearing it hurts. Average cost of a slave is $90. 211 million children are slaves (ages 5-14) around the world. They are DEPRIVED of a proper education.

Illegal treatment - Estimated, about 100,000 refugees, asylum seekers...they're called illegals meaning, they come into the country illegally. Most of them are victimized, abused, deported, trafficked.. they're literally in a "torture chamber" 24/7!

All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is that good man do nothing.

Questions I encourage you to reflect on!

-How would these awareness change the way you live?

-What kind of change is needed in your world?

-What kind of change would you like to bring to your world?

Pause.

BOOYAHH. CHANGE YOUR WORLD TOUR - it's coming up!
