The Cause: Alana Patricia

On my last trip to Brazil, I was able to visit one of my students who has built a salon in her home. Alana Patricia was everyone’s mama! All the girls really looked up to her. We knew she wanted to be able to stay at home to care for her husband as he has been ill for some time. She paid close attention to all we had to teach and I was elated to see how successful she has become.

Our translator Paulo is a documentary film maker for YWAM in London. He came with me to visit her and filmed her home, her salon, and her story. She didn’t share much during the course last year, but she really opened up to us when we visited her in January. She shared about her life and her struggles. Things I never would have thought she was going through. She is one of the most brave woman I know. Alana is the reason why I am so passionate about doing what I do.

The Cause: The Girl in Chains

Sidney Diongzon created this short film to nothing more than bring awareness to the evil that is sex slavery. I encourage those who watch those to understand the severity of this sensitive issue and not turn a blind eye to what is happening all over the world, our country, our state, on in our city.
