Pediatric Trauma Program (by Gerard Gaw - UCLA)
So
for those of you who haven't hear about Pediatric Trauma Program or have heard
too much about it and just want to help, then definitely check out this website
that can help you know more about the program: http://www.chla.org/site/c.ipINKTOAJsG/b.7521617/k.3402/Community_Programs_and_Impact.htm.
Or you can check out their stories through: http://www.wearechildrens.org/category/share-your-story/
Again, for those of you who don't know about Pediatric Trauma Program, then a
little background is that this is one of our DFI's that focuses on raising
funds to train specialized doctors and treatment specialists to cope with this
alarming anomaly - often fatal - that is one of the easiest and most
preventable catastrophes in the world. So even if you can't support, just
educating yourself about this is more than enough.

Not For Sale (by Tiffany Por - UCR)
Most of society sees that human trafficking happens overseas in countries such as Thailand and Vietnam. However, human trafficking also exists right here in the United States! Around 27 million individuals are still in captivity or in bondage, but we only know that much. The fight to end human slavery begins by revealing it. There may be human trafficking incidents around your neighborhood! You can use/view this map to see any documented incidents of human slavery/trafficking in areas around the U.S.: http://www.slaverymap.org/
SlaveryMap exists to record and display instances of human trafficking across the globe. Whether you find them hidden in your hometown or covered in The New York Times, report the incidents onto this map for people everywhere to see. If you encounter a current situation of bondage, do not enter the information here. Please immediately call the US national trafficking hotline number so that the proper law enforcement and service providers can be alerted: 1-888-3737-888.
