Hi. This is the UNODC. We would like to invite you to a special conference on Human Trafficking with actress/author/humanitarian Ashley Judd.
When the United Nations calls, we say YES! It was the most amazing time.
"Ashley Judd, a graduate of Harvard's Business Management School, is one of the most beautiful people we have ever been blessed to meet", said Mrs. Michalski. "Her charm, intellect, and compassionate heart for the victims of human trafficking are both enchanting and inspiring", added Sr. Donna Jo.
Her new book, All That Is Bitter & Sweet, received its' title from the following passage:
"Love is a great thing, yea, a great and thorough good;
by itself it makes everything that is heavy, light; and
it bears evenly all that is uneven.
For love carries a burden that is no burden, and
makes everything that is bitter sweet and tasteful."
Thomas A. Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
She said, "I learned early on that I can't keep what I have but I need to give it away. And what I have is not mine, but God's ... Remember, what comes from the head, goes straight over the head and what comes from the heart, goes straight to the heart."
"The simple act of caring is a lot.
Sometimes it is all that I have, but it is enough.
If I can help one person, I've done a good thing."
Ashley Judd
Ms. Judd explains that "Jesus is one of the original bearers of social justice." He was a radical and very much part of the reason that she fights against human slavery.
The Globe Changers invited our Model UN Team to join them. Mr. Martinelli, the Moderator of the Model UN Team was excited for the opportunity. Just the day before, the Model UN Students were in a competition at St. Peter's College. One of our Senior student leaders, Andrea, won for the best prepared position paper. It was as if God was preparing them for the real thing!
