Prevent Child Trafficking Through Education

Dear friends,

Do you remember writing letters home from camp? I can remember writing snail mail letters from camp and the joy of getting care packages from home. Please consider these our care packages to you from our campers! 

Your support for our students to join camp activities is making a difference, providing at-risk children with a truly unique and meaningful experience that they deeply value. Our staff shared that the students who participated in our first camp were so eager and enthusiastic, they didn’t even need the usual reminders of the upcoming event! 

I’m so excited to share our students’ reflections with you. Here’s what they said: 

“I became a group leader at this camp. Since there were many students from different places, it was a bit challenging to encourage everyone to unite, but I did well! Being a leader helped me understand the benefits of the lessons TFS taught me because every lesson is helpful in my daily life. I feel very thankful for all the activities and I’m very proud of myself.” - P.

“This camp was the first time in my life doing something like this. Joining this camp, making many new friends, and getting to know all the mentors from TFS made me really happy. Apart from that, I learned many useful things such as about anti-trafficking, scamming prevention, family relationships, and mental health. The camp was really fun, and I’ve gained a lot of self-assurance from everyone there. I’d love to send my gratitude to you all and everyone at TFS for providing me this camp and my scholarship. It helps me and my family a lot, reducing the burden on my parents. Thank you so much—this means a lot to me and my family.” - Kr. 

“The camp was really fun and enjoyable! I made many new friends and played many new games that I had never played before. We had to run in every game, which was tiring but so much fun! Everybody was very happy! We didn't just play, though. I also learned many new things from this camp. In each session, there were important lessons for us, such as anti-trafficking, how to identify life goals, family relationships, risky behaviors, sexual abuse prevention, financial management, citizenship, and mental health. All of these lessons are useful in my daily life. I feel very safe and warm here with every mentor from TFS. Thank you all for making this camp possible. This camp will forever have a place in my heart.” - Kh.

Your support makes this possible, and you’re ensuring a long-term impact. The students set personal goals for the year and they are so determined to achieve them. Thank you so much for being a part of this special experience in their lives.

Yours, gratefully,
