TESTIMONIALS:

“Veronica and her students are a force of nature.  They have stepped up and demonstrated that we all have a part to play in fighting human trafficking.  As her organization continues to grow, I expect to see amazing campaigns to raise awareness and action to follow.  The Mekong Club is honored to be partnering with Veronica and FREEST.” – Matt Friedman, CEO of The Mekong Club, Hong Kong.

“House of Hope International has participated in #MyFreedomDay for the past 2 years. Last year we had a survivor of teenage trafficking in the Cochabamba, Bolivia area go with us into several schools to speak to the young girls and have them sign the pledge. As a result of our activities we now have two young trafficking victims living in our adolescent girls’ home who are off the streets and safe. This project has been instrumental in changing the lives of these Bolivian girls, and we definitely plan to continue each year.” -April Havlin, International Director of House of Hope International, Bolivia.
