Prevent Child Trafficking Through Education

Dear Friends,

2015 has been an exciting year so far. In the last project report, we shared Win’s story [a SOLD scholarship student who graduated from University and joined the SOLD team]. We are truly amazed at how much of an impact our prevention programs have on our students and the community as a whole. Thank you for making our prevention programs accessible to our students and the surrounding villages.

Your generosity has inspired our students to want to make the community a better place. Not only have we had a graduated student come back to join the SOLD team, we currently have an active SOLD scholarship recipient on our team. This summer, one of our students, Yai*, is interning with us at our Resource Center. Yai is starting her first year at University this fall. She will be studying Social Work and has a desire to help others and give back to her community. Yai is helping our staff plan activities for the primary age students as well as learn about the day-to-day operations on the ground. It makes us so excited to see our students giving back to SOLD and to the community.

Without your support, the Resource Center would not be what it is today – a safe place where our students can come for resources, mentorship, counseling, and tutoring. Without these programs at the Resource Center, Yai might have ended up on a different path. We are extremely proud of her accomplishments and cannot wait to see her start University. We are thankful for all of your support in creating a space where our students and staff can thrive in.

With hope and gratitude,

Alaynah Fiedler
