Hey there,
Just wanted to update everyone on the timeline for our 2nd 1.2 Mile Walk for The Stop Trafficking Project and the "Only 12" Campaign.
Date: Friday, May 3, 2013
Time: 6:00 - 7:15 p.m.
Place: UMKC Campus (In front of the Student Union)
Purpose: To raise awareness to the sad truth that the average age a girl is forced to be raped for profit is only 12.
FYI - We will have "Walk Talks" the Thursday the week before our next three meetings. Our first "walk talk" is Thursday, March 14, at 7pm at Pizza 51, near UMKC campus. The purpose of these are to not only socialize with other members but also to brainstorm ideas on marketing the walk and gathering interest.
Hope to see everyone at our next meeting on March 21, 2013, at 7pm in Student Union - Room 402.
Have a great day!
Kory

2nd 1.2 Mile Walk for TSTP and UMKC Ambassadors
As many of you know, UMKC hosted a 1.2 mile walk last November to raise awareness for the "Only 12" Campaign and for The Stop Trafficking Project's efforts. We are holding another one! The date is set for Friday, May 3, 2013, at 3:00 p.m.
We will walk 1.2 miles on the UMKC campus to raise awareness and fundraise for efforts in Thailand, India, and here in the United States.
Our Facebook page is up to over 50 likes, and we are currently ordering tee shirts for the group to promote the "Only 12" Campaign. We are gaining momentum and are being noticed. This is something to be proud of and build from!
In the coming weeks and months leading up to the walk, please share the blog with friends and family and plan to attend on Friday, May 3rd, to do your part in combating Human Trafficking. More details will be provided later with regards to exact location, cost, etc.
Do not forget that the average age a girl is forced to be raped for profit is only 12, and we can all do something about that disheartening fact. Open your eyes to Human Trafficking and participate in local events to combat the issue.
If you are a UMKC student reading this blog, our next meeting is Thursday, March 21, at 7pm in SU-402. Visit www.stoptraffickingproject.com or www.only12.com for more details on our efforts.
Thanks and see you on May 3rd!
