What Does A Commitment to Freedom Look Like in 2022?

The Freedom Story ·

2022/01/13

January 13th, 2022 - It’s the beginning of the third year of a global pandemic, and many of us are coping with the Omicron wave. It feels like so many are getting hit with this one. Even if you and your family have so far managed to escape COVID, you likely know others who haven’t been so lucky. It’s a long time to go through upheaval and a long time without a sense of normalcy–only a continual attempt to ride whatever wave of “new normal” we face. But…traffickers don’t stop, even in the face of a

Arisa & The Value of Girls’ Education

The Freedom Story ·

2021/12/12

December 12th, 2021 - Among the Hmong people, it is common to believe that girls’ education is less important than for boys. When a girl gets married, she becomes part of the husband’s family and no longer contributes to her own. From many parents’ perspectives, especially among older generations, even a college-educated woman will find value only with her husband’s family. For families that are in poverty, it seems to be not worth the investment. One of our students, Arisa, faces this situation

How We’re Adapting Outreach

The Freedom Story ·

2021/10/21

October 21st, 2021 - The COVID pandemic has made it even more of a challenge to do outreach to areas, like migrant communities, that are already difficult to reach. However, our team has taken on the challenge and found creative ways to still spread knowledge and awareness to marginalized people.

These restrictions mean we can’t do the outreach sessions or workshops as

Climate Change & Human Trafficking: Part 2

2021/09/23

September 23rd, 2021 - In Southeast Asia, climate change looks like a whiplash between extremes: rising heat, intense rainy seasons, and droughts. We’ve witnessed this in our own community of families and children we support. The intensity of the rainy season damaged their crops. Ginger became moldy and spoiled. Floods ruined the rice. Droughts caused water shortages, making farming–and their livelihood–untenable. (A drought in 2010 was so severe, the Mekong dried up to the point people could even

I studied until 3rd grade. I can read and write a bit and that was enough. I wanted my kids to have a chance to study more than me. But in the past, when school started, we would really struggle to find money to buy the bags, the school supplies, the things they needed.” These challenges would be enough to make
