Volunteering OC Fair
July 17th, I will be a leader at a booth for Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force! We will have various volunteers, if you are interested in volunteering please let me know! All volunteers will only require a 2 hour training hosted by myself or Kristina Sachs, another gal.
The purpose of the booth is to let people know that Human Trafficking isn’t just global but it happens here in our very neighborhood. I live in Irvine and just heard about a family who had trafficked a young girl from Egypt into their home for labor. Read about Shyima’s story here.
The purpose of the booth is to bring awareness to the general public because as our trainer mentioned “neighbors are the best resources“. The perpetrators come in all shapes and sizes from retired cops, lawyers to teachers. It doesn’t matter if you are male or female but you need to be aware so you can save those around you.
Did you also know that internet is a big way to exploit children? I’m sure you did but did you also know that many times the children are easily lured in because they are vulnerable due to neglect or abuse they get at home. They are trying to fill a void! If you have young kids please show them love, give them attention and bring awareness to them that on the internet they can post any type of photos saying that is who they are. Be aware.
