Briana united with Somaly Mam Foundation


 What do you know about sex trafficking? Other 27 million people are toiling as slaves all other the world! Women and children are sold to brathels and threatened cruelly if they try to escape.
 Somaly mam Foundation was launched in 2007 by slavery survivor Somaly Mam. It's non-profi charity, which try to end sex trafficking around the world.
 Briana united with Somaly Mam Foundation and she's planning to work with them in near future.
Check out below what wrote about it on Twitter:
"These are Akun braclets made by survivors of human trafficking rescued by Somaly Mam. 100 % proceeds go to Somaly Mam.  Can't wait to become a bigger part of the foundation ! I will hopefully be traveling to Cambodia soon but for now helping in LA best I can!"

To buy one of these amazing Akun bracelets, go to SMF's Empowerement store. Get one or two :) They're handmade bracelets, woven by survivors undergoing rehabilitation at the Tomdy Center in Phnom Penh. Why AkunAkun is the Cambodian word for 'Thank You'. The price is $15each (+ shipping, of course). Go buy one, show your support and help the victims of human trafficking! ;)


Also make sure to watch the video that Briana was a part of:

Update: If you live in L.A. and want to avoid the shipping fee, you can arrange a meeting with SMF's LA ambassador Jessica Diep to pick your bracelet. Email her at jdiepSMFLA@gmail.com
