Mission To raise awareness and funds for the prevention of human trafficking through the sale of "Sell Tacos, Not Children" T-shirts Description The motto, “Sell Tacos, Not Children!” was created in an attempt to combat human trafficking in the country of Belize. Its purpose is to: • Raise awareness for human trafficking • Raise funds for the Child Development of Belize. Sell Tacos Not Children was started by a college student after a trip to Belize made her aware of the issue of human trafficking. After seeing the effects of it first hand, she decided she wanted to do more. The mission team she was traveling with had donated shirts with the slogan "Sell Tacos, Not Children" on them to the Child Development Foundation of Belize, to help with fundraising. Not too long after she was home, she adopted the slogan and began to sell T-shirts and Bracelets with the quote. In the summer of 2012, she traveled back to Belize to serve the country on a third international mission trip. While she was there, she was able to meet. the director and founder of CDF, spend time in prayer with the staff, and see first hand how CDF of Belize operates. The Child Development Foundation is a Christian non- profit organization seeking to mobilize community-based organizations on the growing issue of the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children in Belize. Studies have shown that children as young as twelve are being sexually exploited by their parents to obtain an economic reward. Not enough is being done to protect the rights of these children or provide rehabilitation for them. CDF along with its partners are seeking to provide a safe place for the children of Belize.
