The 2017 FREEDOM NOW Global Art Exchange and Exhibition was a success! This year, we had 41 schools participate from five different countries: South Africa, United States, Senegal, Guatemala, and India. The kids skyped with  Evann Twitchell  and fellow classmates who submitted art from the  The Young Americans College of the Performing Arts  in Corona, California. We have now had 85 schools and 14 different countries take part in Guria’s Freedom Now art campaign. Thank you to all those involved!  # humantrafficking   # slavery   # freedomnow   # Guria   # sextrafficking # sexslavery   # childprostitution   # commercialsexualexploitation   # rape   # rescue   # varanasi
