HELP!!!

   I am just over seven weeks away and about $2,000 short of what I need to go on this trip!  All of the funds I need to raise have to be in by April 30th.  That day is coming, but there is still time for you to help!  Please give!  If you are still unsure of who I am, or what I am doing let; me help you out a little bit.

   If you don't know, my name is Eric Benti.  I have reached a point in my life where I have no clue what to do with myself.  The Fire I once had in my heart is gone.  I had been going to school to become a teacher.  But my heart grew restless and I wanted to move on.  The desire to travel grew on me.  I wanted to go out and see the world outside of the small town of Plymouth WI.  So when the opportunity arose to travel overseas I jumped at it.  I will be going to the country of Cambodia.  On this trip that I hope to rediscover that Fire I once had.

   Over 14 million people live in Cambodia, and it is a very poor country.  Because of this poverty many people are forced to sell their children into slavery; to be used for sexual pleasures of rich men. Cambodia is a source and transit country for human trafficking. Young woman are trafficked for the purpose of commercial sex exploitation and forced labor. Girls are transportaed to the surrounding countries to be used as domestic works and forced in to prostitution. I will be working in English Camps.  These camps are set up to teach kids English.  If the children know English the chance of them getting a job and providing for their family is increased 100 times. 

  Please donate!  I need your help!  If you would like to give support you can write out a check payable to The Christian and Missionary Alliance/Envision Office and designate my name either on the check or on a note enclosed with the check. You can send the check to: The C&MA/Envision Office Attn: Becky Gorton The Christian and Missionary Alliance PO Box 35000 Colorado Springs CO 80935-3500.  Or look me up on Facebook!

  Now your probably asking yourself; "Why should I give money to this punk?" "I don't even know you kid.."  If you don't donate that totaly fine!  And if you are still unsure please read my past blogs and maybe get to know me a little better.  But time is short!  Thank you for your time.  I hope that you will consider a donation.
