I’m sure I’m going to be processing everything I’ve learned on my trip to visit Hagar in Cambodia for awhile. What should I do with all of this new knowledge and experience? Maybe you are wondering the same thing. Maybe you’ve read what I’ve written and are interested in doing more. I hope that is the case! If so, here are some ideas for ways to learn more and get involved. If you’re interested in talking more please contact me at hello(at)stoptraffickfashion(dot)com.
- Learn more about the Khmer Rouge and the implications that has for the Cambodian people. It’s unfortunate that Americans don’t have a better understanding of such a recent genocide and it’s affect on the people. You can watch the 1984 movie, The Killing Fields or read one of the many books on the topic such as, First They Killed My Father by Luong Ung.
- Educate yourself about the situation of human trafficking in Cambodia by visiting the Chab Dai website.
- Pray for Cambodia, it’s people, Hagar staff and the staff of other NGOs working here.
- Blog, Facebook or Tweet about Hagar
- Become a fan of Hagar on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, or sign up for their newsletter.
- Host a Dining for Hagar event to tell your friends about Hagar and help raise money.
- Set up an online fundraising page to help raise funds for a new playground at the Hagar Catch Up School in Phnom Penh.
- Become a monthly donor to Hagar. Your monthly gift is extremely important in paying the salaries of Hagar counselors, teachers and other staff that enable the great work Hagar does. Without funding they cannot continue to restore broken lives.
