Please come hear Breaking the Chain founder Evan Robbins speak in Cranford about child trafficking and what's being done to stop it. Here is the event flyer!
Breaking the Chains of Child Slavery in Ghana
As we now read B’Shelach, the parsha
about the Jews gaining freedom from Egyptian slavery, Breaking the Chain
through Education founder Evan Robbins talks about modern-day slavery.
The Lifelong Learning Committee is
proud to present Breaking the Chain through Education (BTCTE) founder Evan
Robbins, who will speak on child trafficking in Ghana. Robbins is a Metuchen
High School teacher who founded the nonprofit organization with his students.
BTCTE bought the freedom of 30 child slaves, and continues to support them and
their families, with additional food, social work assistance and funding for
higher education. Robbins recently returned from Ghana, where he visited more
than half of the involved kids. He’ll bring photos and their stories, and tell
of child trafficking challenges in Ghana. Robbins will be introduced by TBEMC
seventh grader Dori Kaplan, whose Mitzvah project supports BTCTE.
When: Sunday, January 5, 2014 at 10:30 a.m.
Where: Temple Beth-el Mekor Chayim
338 Walnut Ave, Cranford, NJ
Dori’s beaded jewelry, with
proceeds going to BTCTE, will be
for sale at the event, along
with African jewelry and 2014 BTCTE calendars.
