Hi everyone,
first of all I am really sorry for this late update. I had a problem with my notebook and it took few days to get fixed. Also I have been busy with work that I didn't find the time to update this blog.
Thank you all who have supported our team with the first challenge!!
Your support was very much appreciated and I hope you are also very happy with the Organic Surge products! :) If not, please feel free to contact the Organic Surge team for any improvement ideas, etc.
With the first challenge all participating teams have raised £20,514 so far!
Have a look which team is on # 1! I think they have done an amazing job!

The second challenge is to raise awareness of the A21 Campaign through different medias like a
• Short Film
• Poster Campaign
• TV or Radio
• PR
• Online Viral
The aim is to raise awareness of the injustice of human trafficking, to connect people to the A21 Campaign and to sign up as many people as possible to the A21 newsletter, facebook and twitter.
If you have any creative ideas towards the second challenge you are more than welcome to join our team! Anyone and everyone can contribute their part!
Love, Ava

The First Challenge!
Ok, the rules have been set for the first Apprentice Challenge! Let's go!
Our first challenge is to sell the A21 Apprentice Surge Collection Sets to 20 friends. Each member of our team has to get at least 20 friends to purchase this product. Remember Organic Surge joined the A21 campaign in order to donate to the A21 Campaign and you get to purchase these products at lower than High Street prices. 50% will be donated to A21 to bring justice to the injustice of human trafficking for each A21 Surge Collection sold.
Organic Surge are natural products and you can truely rely on their quality. This company not only donates to A21 but also is engaged in Africa supporting other charities. Organic Surge will be a nice treat for you skin and also makes a nice gift for your friend, mother, sister, brother or husband and you are supporting a good cause at the same time! Read more about Organic Surge on their website at the About Us section. Personally, I am very impressed by this company! You will find their products in Boots, Whole Foods, John Lewis and other stores.
I appreciate any help you can offer! If it's telling your friends about this campaign or the issue of human trafficking, it will bring this topic to people's awareness. If I could get more than 20 friends together it will change lives. The more get together all the more bigger impacts can we have in helping the rescued victims!
For my UK friends you get FREE delivery!
The A21 Surge Collection will be delivered DIRECT to any UK address (including London) for FREE! Please don't forget to put our team name AFTER your surname in the surname box when ordering online, this must happen for it to count towards our team score.

To my friends
Hi friends,
You might be surprised that I started a blog...but as you can see from the layout this blog is not about writing about my life, music, photography, art or anything else but simply exists to share with you what is happening within the A21 Apprentice Campaign that I joined to raise enough money to fight against human trafficking.
I don't know how much you know about human trafficking but I didn't even know something like this existed...yep, I truely grew up in a safe environment, in the western world and my friends call me city-girl. Not many people seem to be aware of this issue. Even within my circle of friends some got to hear about human trafficking for the very first time.
It is shocking and scary what you find out once you give attention to it. And humman trafficking is happening right now, even in my city in London. I got to read an article from last years Evening Standard where undercover police officer captured a surveillance photo which shows a gangster handing over 3,000 Pounds to other two men outside Selfridges to sell this woman who stood not far away from them watched by another guy! Can you imagine? It was hard to belive for me but I had this copy from the newspapers in my hands and unfortunately it is true. Luckily these men were caught and are prisoned for 48 years.
Today we had our second meeting with our A21 Apprentice team and I am very excited about the first challenge we got! I will report more about it this week once everything is ready to take off as I could really need your support!!
To find out more about this campaign or the sponsor Organic Surge, click on the links to your right and watch the videos below. Please feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email if you wanna join, ask or tell me something!
Let's spread the word and fight for those girls', children's and women's freedom!
