On February 20, 2018, Guria hosted it’s fourth annual Worldwide FREEDOM NOW Art Exchange and Exhibit. The exhibit at the Varanasi red-light area education center was a success! To date, we have had 86 schools from 15 different countries take part in Guria’s Freedom Now art campaign, and more schools using curriculum resources in their classrooms! Thank you for all those involved. If you would still like to be a part of the ongoing exchange, visit  http://freedomnowcampaign.org/howtoparti.html  for guidelines on participation. We have decided to put forward a second date, April 12, for schools who couldn’t meet the February 20 deadline to create art and host exhibitions. # humantrafficking   # slavery   # freedomnow   # Guria   # sextrafficking # sexslavery   # childprostitution   # commercialsexualexploitation   # rape # rescue   # varanasi
