"I've seen our participants grow in trust, love and compassion."
I was asked what motivates me to work with victims of human trafficking, and what motivates me to continue this fight. Without any doubt, I feel the strength and resilience that these individuals have.
The first time I meet our participants, they are usually quiet, don't make much eye contact and are reserved. When they start telling their story, although they may feel embarrassed and broken, their strength shines brightly. I have seen our participants grow in trust, love and compassion. I have seen the bonds within our group expand and create an unstoppable support system.
One of the beautiful parts of our group is that we all learn a lot from each other! As part of the management team I keep learning from our group how we can better support them and how we can promote and defend them. The group we have today is very different from the first day they joined The Bridge2Hope.
There is something to be said about how beautifully resilient we can be as human beings. We are all a force that has endless possibilities. I am grateful to be part of a group that helps victims of human trafficking in their process of becoming strong survivors!
