ONE: A Face Behind The Numbers

“So many of us here in the western world live our daily lives in a bubble. And in this bubble there is no slavery, no poverty; there is no famine or hunger. All of these things are in the past, they are just a myth. In the very least, they must have government aid… right? Wrong!! Vaden Earle has burst that bubble with this book. One: A Face Behind the Numbers is a reality check. These things do exist and are more prevalent than ever.”
