Orfanato Ninos y Ninas de Cristo, Dominican Republic

Just returned late last night. The trip was very productive and was nonstop Friday through Sunday. Bottom line is that we really made a difference in the lives of 172 children - ranging from food security (health), holiday gift giving (child welfare), Lisa's acquisition of water heaters (infrastructure), electrical components to install the air conditioners that Lisa bought last summer (infrastructure), stocking their library with purchased Spanish books and encyclopedias (education) and so much more.

Someone in the group said it well in that many go in with an expectation of trying to endure through all the strife they see but in reality meet the most loving group of 172 children anyone would have ever imagined.

Human Trafficking at the Super Bowl

What do you think of when you think about Super Bowl Sunday? Football, good food, friends, tailgating, funny commercials, and parties all come to mind. Here’s another one for the list: human trafficking. Some groups estimate that thousands of children will be trafficked in Dallas during the week of the Superbowl.

We were horrified to hear that number, and just as determined to do something about it. That’s why we are partnering with Traffick911 to fight human trafficking this football season. On January 31, we will help to train flight attendants and airport personnel to recognize and report cases of trafficking. There will also be a massive awareness campaign entitled "I'm Not Buying It".

You can help by spreading the word. Whether you’re texting, typing, or talking, tell everyone you know that human trafficking is happening on a major scale and we can help to end it.

If you see something suspicious, please call the national human trafficking hotline at: 1-888-3737-888.
