Ashoka's Mission

This Name caught my eye while googling for Foundations preventing human trafficking. The website has it all about what they do. There are two things I consider most unfortunate things to happen to citizens of the world, the first one being Food problem and second being held against your will and trafficked. Anyday I would jump in to solve food problem for less fortunate . This website is about a organization which tries to fight latter and in some sense former. Ashoka an historical emperor who ruled India in 3rd century B.C was so interested in building empire , he did not care about any other things in the world, but battle of Kalinga (Central India) changed him , he gave up war and decided to spread buddhist teaching around. With his trade ties to Sri Lanka , Thailand, Burma( Myanmar now) he decided to spread Buddhism, apparently he is supposed to have met disciple of Buddha on the battle fields to Kalinga. Please spend sometime on this website and see if you can make an effect.
