Through the training sessions I learned about human trafficking and
domestic violence on a global and local level. Know the signs, language,
the action steps, the resources, how to protect our children, and what
part you can play in helping to combat these atrocities. I am now part

In 2018 I Received Certification for successful completion Combating
Human Trafficking and Domestic Violence training and Certificate of
Recognition Award for Outstanding PowerPoint Final Project.

The Bible scriptures that come to mind is Galatians 6:9 of Contemporary English Version which states “Don’t get tired of helping others.
You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don’t give up.” The Two awards have showed me that my community work is not in
vain, especially when human trafficking and domestic violence victims need to be free. In order for youth in New York City's urban
neighborhoods to remain active, loved, feel belong and safe, they need holistically resources and activities. >
