Somaly Mam , Cambodia woman, is an anti-slavery activist and survivor fighting for victims all over the world. Human Trafficking is a huge issue around the world, especially in Cambodia. And, of course, January 11th is my birthday and I'm doing what I love helping Cambodian youngsters by raising money for the Sharing Foundation.

Two years ago, my family and I made a commitment to sponsor Leng Sopharath, a young woman from Cambodia, for her college education through the Sharing Foundation 's education program. Without the Sharing Foundation's college education program, she would not be able to make a better life for herself.

Almost ten years ago, she founded a nonprofit organization, The Sharing Foundation , dedicated to meeting the physical, emotional, educational, and medical needs of orphaned and seriously- disadvantaged children in Cambodia. Why Cambodia? The Sharing Foundation employs Cambodians to run its programs in country.

Having implemented a successful campaign to raise the money to support a young college student named Leng Sopharath in Cambodia that raised $872 using the ChipIn widget, I set up a charity badge over at Network for Good to support the Sharing Foundation's educational programs which provide educational opportunities for over 1,300 children.

I can't do this alone and that's why I'm asking my blogger friends to join me and in helping to raise money to help the many children who are touched by the Sharing Foundation's programs. My husband and I adopted two beautiful children, Harry and Sara, from Cambodia. On our first trip we were overjoyed to bring our son, Harry, home.

I have used social media to help raise the money for her tuition through the Sharing Foundation in 2007 and 2008. Cambodia brought me my two beautiful children and I felt strongly that we should give back to the country in some way. That's why in 2006 when Leng Sopharath did not have a sponsor for college, I stepped forward.
