Ferras - Hollywood’s Not America (by emimusic)
I’ve never heard of this guy before, but what a great song!
R.A. Dickey, a pitcher for the New York Mets, successfully reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro earlier this month, in part to raise awareness and money to stop sexual slavery in Kamathipura- Mumbai’s largest red light district.
According to the latest government estimates, about 100,000 to 200,000 women and girls are working in brothels in Mumbai.
“As I am the father of two daughters, ages 9 and 8, the thought of my own being subjected to the atrocities that happen every day in the brothels and on the streets of Kamathipura is heartbreaking,” R.A. wrote for the New York Times baseball blog.
Congratulations, Mr. Dickey for your incredible feat and for bringing attention to this cause.
