Human Trafficking

I've been learning that anything that feels big is worth doing. I went to a meeting this evening addressing human trafficking. Listening to some people talk about a recent trip to Cambodia put my stomach in knots. 50k children are prostitutes there. People in wealthy hotels buy 7 year old boys for a few hours. Gut wrenching. Sad. Beyond sick. Unfathomable. 
I'm tempted to think, "What a shame, that's too bad." We were each given some Cambodian money to keep, so that we would think about this situation and think about what we could possibly do to help. Cambodia is just one place with this problem. This feels big.
