A Serious Matter Unrelated To Travel

Hello friends and followers. In our wonderful nation of America, we are plagued with a virus that threatens to undermine our very existence. This virus is that of child predators and molesters. It is time something was done about it.

Within the past 10 days preceding the writing of this blog entry, the city of Orange Park Fl, and indeed the entire Florida First Coast was rocked by the revelation that 7 year old Somer Thompson was kidnapped, murdered, and tossed into a dumpster as if she was nothing more than yesterday's garbage. Her body was discovered in a landfill in South East Georgia, and was so badly assaulted and other wise disfigured that the medical examiner will not allow her mother to see the body. Somer is but one of many children who have met similar fates. Children like Christopher Barrios, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered by his neighbors, and left on the side of the rode in a black garbage bag. The list can go on, and on, and on, but I think you get the picture.

The problem is, for a nation who has armed forces committed to places overseas fighting the war against terrorism, we can not seem to prevent our very own children from being terrorized by sexual predators. I don't know about you, but I for one am sick and tired of innocent children becoming victims of sexual deviants who get a kid out of hurting kids.

Recently, a group of concerned mothers banded together to form Mothers Againt Predators, a grass roots organization dedicated to raising awareness of the dangers that threaten our children, with a drive to end the attacks of sexual predators. Although this efforts began in Florida, we are hoping that - like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers - this effort will take root across the country. I applaud the ladies who are taking this stand against sexual predators and child molesters.

IrSabio Travel Consultants has reached out to the founders of Mothers Against Predators to offer any assistance we may. Be it in the form of providing methods to assist with fund raising, through financial contributions, or other means. IrSabio Travel Consultants is fully committed to the success of Mothers Against Predators. We encourage you to assist this organization as well. One way that you can assist is simply by you doing what you are doing presently, booking your travel through IrSabio Travel Consultants at http://www.irsabio.com. Beginning November 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010, IrSabio Travel Consultants will donate 25% of all earned commissions to Mothers Against Predators. These donations will be in addition to any other forms of support IrSabio Travel Consultants provides.

So feel good about booking your travel with IrSabio Travel Consultants, and know that the hotel, flight, cruise, or other vacation you book and take between November 1, 2009 and February 28, 2010 is helping to fund efforts that ensure our children are safe from the dangers of Sexual Predators. Remember the children are our future. Let's keep them well so they can grow up and lead the way.
