Jan. 5: Reporting from Calcutta , where I am leading a 10 day volunteer trip at our partner shelters: Yesterday was a day of seemingly magical transformations. I spent the day at the Sanlaap shelter home – Sanlaap is one of India’s biggest and most respected anti-slavery agencies, serving hundreds of red light area kids as well as the 100 rescued survivors at the shelter home.

The Emancipation Network fights slavery by empowering survivors and people at high risk to rebuild their lives.  We help individuals and communities become slavery-proof with jobs, job training, education, aftercare and reintegration.  We sell beautiful products Made By Survivors at our web store, and use the profits to provide help, home and hope to others rescued from slavery.    You can help us, and make a real difference in the lives of trafficking survivors by hosting an Awareness Party in your home or community.
