[HMDS] Camp GK Action on Teen Sex Trafficking Set to Launch
The campers in Camp GK have decided to focus on the issue of Sex Trafficking of Children. To promote the event that will launch next week to educator others and inspire them to take action, they had a sort of info fair. Here is one photo below (taken by camper Ryan Mauriac):

At the event, they introduced their project to 25 other teens, educated them about the issue, and provided numberous ways they could take action. At the event itself, which was only designed to promote the main project, the campers already raised $6,000L ($24US).
Click below to read the raw, unedited log to get a sense of how the campers did getting others in TSL to learn about and focus on such a challenging and sensitive topic.
