Hello Summer!
We pray this finds you and yours doing well. We've had a very busy quarter with many exciting things to share!
We added two new Board members, Maurice Edwards with NCMEC and Mike Lang, Nurse Care. Happy to have them aboard!
It was a busy quarter! We raised over $1,900 in contributions and added three new monthly donors!
Mission Ambassadors and Interns
We continue to build. We gained 3 new Mission Ambassadors and two youth mission ambassadors.
We had 3 new interns for Spring, with 2 carry over. We have 3 new for Summer, with new more carry over - total of 5
We had 3 amazing Parent Tech Talks - including one with Det. Joseph Scaramucci, out of Waco, TX dropping some great information!
We Educated over 2,000 students and adults this past quarter with more tee'd up for the summer! Trinity Prep, Eau Gallie High School, and at Night of Hope in Arizona!
We were super busy out in the community!
Jan was on a Podcast and showed our Film out in Arizona. Spoke at the Night of Hope to 1,500 students and adults. We hosted the 14th Annual HT Awareness Days & Film Festival with United Abolitionists. There were 500 attendees in person and online. Our President spoke with other warriors at an O.U.R event and as the Chairperson of the Seminole County Human Trafficking Task Force supported the Prayer Vigil for those enslaved around the world. She was also invited to be a speaker at Charleston College to discuss the current online environment, sugaring and ways to stay safe. She attended the Mid-South Conference in Lake Charles, LA, then traveled to California for a Super bowl Awareness Event.
A big highlights was having our logo on a Race Car at the Grand Prix races in St. Petersburg, Fl. Our President, Jan Edwards, was invited to speak at multiple women’s groups around the state raising awareness and funds.
Our President was interview on over 40 podcasts and radio shows around the nation to share our information and raise awareness about our training. Between our Parent Tech Talks, our team did several tabling events at schools around Central Florida and then she embarked upon a upper mid-west tour, speaking at a Survivor Retreat, Sioux Falls, SD home school families and then attended the GRIT Conference in Sheridan Wyoming. There is a great need for our programs out west. More to come about that!
We spoke at a 5th grade class in March and following that class we have decided to develop 4th and 5th Grade program using I am Little Red for the 1st part of hte training followed by a 2nd day about Social Media and laws that protect out kids. Our kids are being targeted younger and younger. We must equip them sooner rather than later.
Two upcoming projects and opportunities we are excited to share about is we have signed an MOU with the Boys and Girls Club of Central Florida to take our programs into their summer camps. Please pray this makes the difference we are all committed to making so we can expand our reach beyond Central Florida.
The second exciting project is the development of a Podcast with our President Jan Edwards and Detective Joe Scaramucci to discuss the whole gamut of human trafficking - from prevention education to apprehension and conviction of predators and traffickers. Should be exciting and educational.
We couldn't do any of this without your continued support for which we are truly grateful.
Thank for your standing with us to educate, empower and prevent our kids from being lured into a life that turns into a nightmare.
Blessings to you and yours,
Jan
