Adventure #24: Service Seminar

Last week, I attended a seminar that focused on human trafficking. I have become very interested in this topic over the past year or so, predominantly for two reasons. First, the city I live in is unfortunately a major hub for the industry. Second, the Caribbean island that has my soul is also a major player in this sick game. So, two locales that I love are involved heavily in this atrocity that enslaves approximately 21-28 million people currently.

The seminar, though dry, was a look into the history of slavery and the transformation into modern-day trafficking. Armed with more ammunition for wanting to make a difference, I have added more service opportunities to my calendar in the near future. It's time that I stopped being so selfish, so full of self-pity at times, and realize what a great opportunity I have to help another human being. We all deserve to be treated as such.
