Be the Change & Stop Human Trafficking

Once again, I would like to say thank you to everyone who donated. No matter the amount, your donation changed someones life. My goal of $2,000 was surpassed in the first few weeks, which I am so grateful for. Both organizations; Justice and Soul and SALT Academy, have received the donations, and are thankful for every dollar. You can check their Facebook pages below to see a thank you post and to stay updated.

Again, thank you so much for donating. I have learned so much about human trafficking through this process, and I hope you all have too. We can make a difference and end human trafficking.

"WE LOVE IT - Look what one high school student can do with just a little bit of initiative and drive. Kaitlin Bell chose the Justice and Soul Foundation along with SALT Academy (Sport and Leadership Training) and decided to raise $1000 for each of us. She surpassed her goal and created a ton of awareness. Thank you Kaitlin for making a difference in our young students lives! I hope to see you at the Fashion SOULstice 2015 (https://www.facebook.com/fashionsoulstice) fundraiser on March 28th!

Wow – I am so excited that I reached my goal! Thanks to all of my supporters and a special hug for my teacher Mrs. Shepp for making the donation that put me just at $2000!

Last week my teacher Mrs. Conroy invited a guest speaker to visit, Annapatrice Clarke, from the Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center. She works to stop human trafficking of all kinds globally and locally, even here in the Seattle area. One cool thing she shared was a website where you can calculate how human trafficking may have touched your own life without you even knowing it based on your lifestyle , the products you use, etc. Check it out here: http://slaveryfootprint.org

Only a few more days until my campaign ends. I hope to get a few more donations so we can help these two amazing organizations and even more girls!

This week my campaign was posted on the SALT Academy Facebook page! Check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/SALTCambodia

Salt Academy also shared a new video about Kimhong..."a young promising footballer, who has been a Mighty Girl for 4 years." It reminds me why I am doing this.

Thanks to all my supporters. Special thanks to my soccer mates who have made donations!!

It's been one week and I am so happy to see the money we have raised so far, almost half way to my goal! Thank you!!

Last week I gave a presentation and performed my song for the 7-8th graders at my school. Thank you to my teachers and classmates for being so supportive! And, the Justice and Soul Foundation posted my campaign on their Facebook page. Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/JusticeAndSoul

Please keep sharing and make a donation! I really want to deliver $1000 checks or more to these two amazing organizations helping stop human trafficking.

Day two and we are off and running thanks to my early supporters!
