Hearts Should Be Free - 2015

Did you know that slavery still exists today?  I don't mean metaphorical slavery...I mean actual slavery where people are forced to work without pay, beaten, threatened, and not allowed to leave.

Heart's Should Be Free is an event I first started January 2012 using giveaways to spread awareness about this injustice, because people can't change something they don't know is happening.

Sponsors have donated some beautiful prizes you can win, and each giveaway post will help you learn about a different aspect of modern slavery, and the fight against it.
