February 12, 2010Comments are closed.

Our work with the Salvation Army, and others, in Combatting the Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) in Haiti is well underway. In our efforts to raise the awareness of the Haitian people on the perils of human trafficking and their rights, messaging campaigns (both Creole & English), such as the following food label project, are being employed:
