Telling the story of Girls off the Streets

I’m still taking every opportunity to tell people about the trip I took a trip in December last year to Bangladesh and India to see the excellent work being done through SIMaid’s Girls off the Streets. Just to prove I was there you can check out the very short video above. 🙂

I’m amazed at the work that is being done to bring hope and healing to young women who have been rescued from human trafficking. Young women who have been sexually exploited and sold into prostitution are now growing in confidence as they learn to trust again and develop life skills that will give them a strong foundation for life ahead. Girls off the Streets is giving them a future and importantly, letting them know that they are truly loved.

If you haven’t already, let me encourage you to check out Girls off the Streets and find out how you can be part of this project which is bringing hope to those who had lost hope.

If you live in the Perth area I want to let you know that I’ll be talking about the trip and sharing some insights at a SIMaid event at Riverton Baptist Church, 38 Modillion Avenue, Shelley, from 7:00 p.m. on Saturday evening the 16th of March.I’ll be talking about my experiences and giving you practical ways to fight human trafficking.

If you can’t make it but you’re part of a church or other group around Perth, and you’d like to hear more, I’m looking for more places to speak up for young girls who can’t. Get in touch with me via my Contact Page so that we can arrange a time and date.
