Saving the lives of thousands

Back in 2009 Somaly Mam was nominated as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. This path of heroism, as been long and dangerous, but rewarding for many. As Ayaan Hirsi Ali states in the Introduction to The Road of Lost Innocence, "Somaly Mam's story is an account of the lowest kind of human depravity, but it is also a testimony to resistance, and to hope. [...] She is living proof that one woman can change the fate of others" (xv). She endured a lot of horrendous events as a teenager, but has kept her head high throughout these events and has prevailed in our current world. I believe if she had never left Cambodia to live with Pierre, in France, she would not be where she is right now. Pierre supported her throughout her goals when they returned to Cambodia. His employers were educated about the surroundings many young girls where living in, ones that were almost identical to what Somaly had experienced. Her path of inspiration and knowledge continues to impact the lives of many as she runs her own non-for-profit organization to educate and save many from human trafficking.

I believe that it is stories, like Somaly Mam's that inspire many to reach out and make a difference. Non-for-profit organizations such as Somaly's give a second chance to many, they range from animals to human in all kinds of unethical surroundings. They also give the chance for inspired listeners to make a difference in this world of ours.
