Esteban’s Comments (group member since Jan 15, 2009)

Esteban’s comments from the Free The Slaves.net -- Weekend Homework #17 group.

1. As others have said, there is
-Agriculture and mining
-housework
-Prostitution

2. Three observations.
-27 million slaves in the world
-Majority of slaves found in Africa and India
-$90 is the average cost of a human slave around the world

3. Two actions to stop slavery.
-educate yourself: look into it more and help others understand this (also "spreading the word")
-make donations: "give the gift of freedom"

4. Poem
I am a slave
but a humble servant
In the field those who misbehave
or a re un-observant
Will feel pain
that is very fervent
We want freedom
but it won't come
I can no longer fend
for i am near the end
Six feet under is where I'll be
Long forgotten
due to slavery
I am only a slave
but a humble servant
