About

Oakseed Ministries International today announced their sixth annual essay contest for youth on the topic: Compassion and the Imprisoned Child.  Through this topic, students are invited to explore the issues facing children in prison and to offer innovative ideas to help these children.  According to the United Nations, over one million children worldwide are living in prison without any legal assistance or possibility of a fair trial.

The essay contest is a part of a yearlong effort to raise awareness of the plight of imprisoned children that will culminate in the Annual Day of Prayer for Children at High Risk on Sunday, June 6, 2010.  Visit the Oakseed Ministries website to learn more about the organization and the work they are doing around the world.
