About Me
- 50 FOR THE CHILD
- My name is Charles Dawson-Amoah, I’m a British national and I’m 36 years old. I was born in a small town called Cape Coast on the coast, approx. 77.4 miles from Accra, the capital of Ghana. Years ago, my town used to be the capital on “the gold coast” when Ghana was still part of the British colony. After my education, I started working for DHL Ghana, before leaving to join the British Army. In my life i have seen many upsetting things, including child soldiers and children suffering as a consequence of either war, or because of the actions of adults – who I believe should’ve known better. It is at this point, I promised myself I would do something personally to raise this as an issue and to try to do something in my own small way. So, with that in mind, I promised myself that every year I’d do a trek – walking 1,000 miles over 20 days to raise this plight to the politicians and people of the world, that there is still a lot to be done for children across the world.This walk starts on 1st nov -20th nov from Sierra Leone to Ghana.
who will be joining you?

According to UNICEF statistics (2009)Every year about 2.4 million people are trafficked and half of these are children. A visit to UNICEF Interactive trafficking map will highlight the extend of the problem. While many now believe that nothing can be done, this individual is embarking on this journey to raise awareness. Thank you Charles your effort is commendable,let me know if there is anyway i can help.
ReplyDelete2.4 million? WOW that is just sickening! that is alot of kids, Gods children...they dont nor does anyone deserve this....Charles, I heard that you are going to write a journal along your way..What are the stats about kids being saved out of this hell? next question, how does one help these children in countries where the cops are in on it as well?
ReplyDeleteWell yes ,i will be compiling a journal along the way of first hand issues from the locals.This will give us a better understanding of what they are going through.
ReplyDeleteOn the issue of the cops that are involved in it. The more we bring this issue to every household worldwide the less attractive it becomes for them to participate in such activites
The statistics are bleak as far as finding these kids once they have been taken?
ReplyDeletetell me how do they get over the borders , or how do they smuggle them into other countries?
Well these kids are trafficked over the borders with fake passports or travel documents.These traffickers are well organised and have contacts working within the various passport issuing office of which ever countries they operate from.
ReplyDeleteSome also use the adoption excuse to get them over only get them over to their final destination of bondage.
Hi Charles, Mama Bear here! This is a very worthy cause, and in fact, this past Sunday, one of the missions we support in the Philippines are taking kids off the street that are into prostitution, etc. I will be praying for your protection and strength for each day.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you with His grace and love. Denise
