For countless others, it’s a choice … Continue reading Get Involved Online Today about Human Trafficking
New ideas and new methods were presented in seminars and discussed in groups at MinstreyNet 2011. The groups were challenged to meet several times during the conference to develop do-able 90-day projects. Some of these projects are already in process.
