It is also a time to reflect on modern slavery and how we can bring slavery to an end forever.

PASSOVER SEDER SUPPLEMENT

This is an excerpt from Global Exchange's free, one-page Passover Seder Supplement.

Leader: Once, we were slaves in Egypt. Today, young children are slaves on the opposite side of Africa.

Assembled: Child laborers in the West African cocoa fields are over a quarter of million in number; twelve thousand of them are slaves.
...
Assembled: We can walk in Moses' footsteps. We can have the courage to ask the Pharoahs of today to let the children go.

The Supplement ends with an opportunity to send a simple letter that can help bring an end to child slavery in the cocoa fields.

We hope you'll download the Passover Seder Supplement about child slavery in the cocoa fields, and also pass this link along to your family and friends, so that we can involve as many people as possible in bringing an end to child slavery in the cocoa fields! Download the Passover Seder Supplement
