STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING NOW!




As a voice for the voiceless, the O'AMBASSADORS Campus Ministry Club introduced their new ten minute documentary to the school community: STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING NOW! This important documentary speaks of the dangers of forced labor and sexual exploitation. As one student explains, "Over 27 million people are enslaved globally. It has become a Global Epidemic!" At Benedictine Academy, we believe education is the key to preventing children (especially young girls) from falling victim to human trafficking. Our goal is twofold. We want to create an awareness regarding this serious issue, and secondly, raise $8500. to build a one room school building in a targeted country through Free the Children. Our O'Ambassador Club participates in the O Ambassador Program, a joint project by Oprah's Angel Network and Free the Children. We are have raised 60% of our goal. If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the DVD or contributing to our awing task, please call Sr. Donna Jo or Mrs. Michalski at 908.3520670, ext. 125. Together we can and will make a difference.
