Futures '09 Profile - Greg Opperman

Hi, My name is Greg, and I work for the Somaly Mam Foundation as a web developer. Through my work at the foundation, I've learned a lot about Somaly Mam and her work, and about the human trafficking problem in general. What really strikes me about what Somaly does is how successful she's been in making a difference - one girl at a time. Even over here, we can make a huge difference just by providing a small amount of monetary support. I've been commited to various forms of activism for years now, from Massachusetts to Africa, but the Futures '09 ride seems like the perfect opportunity to combine my love of bicycles and activism to make a difference in people's lives. I'm thrilled to be able to get out from behind my laptop, and onto a bike, to help raise money and awareness to help put a stop to human trafficking.
