Recently a student and I got to go down to Mexico City and visit NEO (Newsong Mexico City). The purpose of our trip was to help document and record the story of The Well. Benny Yu (site pastor, NEO) and his team felt passionate about making a difference in the fight against human trafficking; specifically sex trafficking. The NEO team wanted to provide a house that could be a Safe house for those young girls saved or rescued from sex trafficking in Mexico City. This trip was eye-opening and disheartening, the realities of human trafficking and how it impacts so many lives is devastating. But the fact that real impact can happen one life at a time; helping a child to go through healing, have a place to belong and learn a new way to live life has really given me a sense of hope.
A fundraiser was held on Halloween Saturday called DDLV (the day of the living). You can check out more about that event here: http://noc.newsong.net/ddlv/ If you would like to donate and help with the resourcing of Benny and his team for the Well in Mexico City, click on the link above and donate via google check out.
