SUCCESS IN GHANA!

The recent IOM Rescue Mission took place between January 19th and January 22nd. With the help of many donors, including the 1>0 girls, 36 children were saved. The girls were able to sponsor 8 out of the 36 children who were rescued!

Eric Peasah, the project manager of the Counter Trafficking Unit of IOM's mission, and his crew rescued this group of 36 children from fishing villages in the Lake Volta Region of Ghana. Throughout 2007, the IOM identified and registered 424 children working for 800 fishermen on five islands. The IOM had enough funds to rescue 36 of these children. These children will be taken care of for 2 1/2 years.

You may be asking, "What will happen to the rest of the 424 children?" The rest of these children will be constantly monitored. When enough money is raised, another rescue mission will take place.

The 1>0 girls decided, at their Sunday night meeting, that they want to sponsor a whole rescue mission. That's right. Their original goal was to save 1 child and they saved 8. The girls are determined to raise enough funds to sponsor a whole rescue mission! They can do it with your help!

Keep checking the website and tell everyone you know about the girls' cause. Together, with Anjelica, Ariel, Chelsea, Hayley, Jessica, Kayla, Sammi, and Sammy you can make it happen!

TUNE IN TO THE TODAY SHOW TOMORROW MORNING! The 1>0 girls will be appearing with the IOM to discuss the success of the rescue mission!
