International Edition
In May 2011, the CNN Freedom Project highlighted the story of a seven-year-old boy kidnapped off the streets of Bangladesh by a criminal gang that, according to authorities, snatched children, crippled them, and then forced them to beg.
When this young boy refused he was beaten, stabbed and mutilated. His injuries shocked everyone. But one CNN viewer was so outraged, he took a stand.
He offered to help the boy, and triggered a chain reaction of goodwill that spanned the globe – and changed the boy’s life.
In Operation Hope, CNN Senior International Correspondent Sara Sidner charts the boy’s remarkable journey and the people who made it happen - complete strangers half a world away.
Thanks to the CNN viewer who took a stand. Its unthinkable what humans can do to their own kind in other to gain finacial reward. Tts indeed so sad. If operation Hope its set out to locate victims of issues like this and beyond then our world is taking a turn for the better, I believe.
Someone has to say it, I am in a major metropolitan area in the U.S. and I just left a place, within walking distance of my house, where they sell slaves for money. Great hope is that our pedestrian population is becomming aware of this. http://WWW.RDWINS.COM.
Every country around India is reeling in extremisn. That says a lot doesn't it.

I think your humanitarian efforts are great, and its good that you said ...“we MIGHT be the only ones [to have it]" referring to a "sustained, long-term commitment to a cause in the way that CNN and TV5 have" (more specifically rescue teams for news reporters). I just want to let people know, you are not the only ones. In fact, in the Philippines, UNTV Rescue team was launched July 2010, contrary to what TV5 Philippines was claiming that " The program (Rescue 5) has pioeneered in training and equipping reporters and cameramen in First Aid and other lifesaving skills to be able to respond to distressed individuals." as posted here http://www.interaksyon.com/article/47664/rescue-5s-cause-journalism-to-be-showcased-in-barcelona-and-melbourne.
