My Wal-Mart story told to many in Oregon and Washington

On Feb 18, 2007, I left Orlando, FL  to join the International Labor
Rights Fund.  Feb 18th marked the first time I was ever on an
airplane.  I have had the pleasure of meeting Beatriz (Betty) Fuentes.
She comes from Colombia.  I have heard her story.  I have had the
chance to connect with Jayaram who comes from Bangalore, India.  I have
also heard his story.  You know its really an experience to be able to
speak out about Wal-Mart concerning how they treat their employees.  It
is also an honor to others speaking out against Wal-Mart.  I also
learned from others how Wal-Mart has affected their lives.  They showed
great courage by standing up against Wal-Mart.  I have seen a lot and
learned a lot just by being with Betty and Jayaram.  I am proud to be
with them.  I am glad that I can speak out about what had happened to
me as a Wal-Mart employee and its been a real experience for me to tell
my story.
