Hi UNICEF members!!!
First of all, thank you to everyone who went to the Habit fundraiser last week. :) Our second meeting of the semester was today in Mr. McKee's room. Here's a recap of today's meeting.
1. January was Human Trafficking Awareness Month but we're going to extend that awareness into February!!! Today we watched a video by the US Institute Against Sex Trafficking about children who are forced into sex trafficking. Although many people think human trafficking is a problem that happens in the developing world, the truth is, human trafficking (especially sex trafficking) is a huge problem in the United States.
2. You can sign a petition against the trafficking of children HERE. This petition is trying to get 100,000 signatures to the President and Congress to establish a White House Office to Combat Human Trafficking. You can take a screenshot of your signature and send it to valenciaunicef@gmail.com by the next meeting for ONE service hour.
3. To raise awareness about human trafficking, we are going to create a video and make a handout. You should contact our co-president Neha if you're interested in helping out.
4. Next meeting, we will be writing letters to Congress (!!!) to ask our representatives to take action on the human trafficking of children. Be there!!
We will send out a Remind about our next meeting, and it will be in Mr. McKee's room as always. (516). Follow our social media at @vhsunicef (Instagram) and @valenciaUNICEF (Twitter) for club photos and important updates. See you at the next meeting!!!!! :)
