Cheryl Perera aims to break the chains of child sex slavery 11/29/2011 Cheryl Perera is living proof that high school students can make a major difference in the world.
Perera was appalled when she learned about the child sex trade in Bangkok, Thailand during a civics class. But her disgust soon turned into action as she convinced her parents and school principal to allow her to go to Sri Lanka on her own for three-and-a-half months when she was 17 so she could see what was happening first hand with child sex slaves, and ended up going undercover in a sting operation to arrest a sexual predator. "I was able to put myself in the shoes of a child," Perera, now 26, said after giving the annual Barton Lecture on community service during Upper Canada College's principal's assembly on Nov. 28.
