I am excited to share with you an amazing opportunity I am hoping to embark on this winter. God has given me a huge heart and passion for the restoration of victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Through Uncharted International I have the chance to travel to Myanmar this winter to train the staff members at Uncharted’s restoration center for victims of human trafficking. I encourage you to learn more about Uncharted and all the great work they do in Myanmar, China, and Afghanistan by visiting their website- www.unchartedinternational.org. The restoration center is a new endeavor and I am excited to use my knowledge of social work and experience working with victims of trauma and violence to help the staff better serve these victims.
My passport just arrived Friday!!! I was starting to stress a little bit because it is almost time to apply for our visas. The application was sent off a little later than it should have been but I got it back in just a couple weeks which is definitely an answered prayer.
I am planning to use the training I am going to do while I am in Myanmar as my capstone project for graduate school. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Social Work. Thursday I met with my professor to discuss how it will all work. We discussed different counseling approaches and techniques that I could teach to the staff at the center. I am getting really excited about the trip and the training as we start to hash out the details!!
It has been a busy, stressful week but I wanted to finally get something up on the blog about the trip! I hope to write more this week once I get caught up on some school assignments!
