Students
& Artists Fighting to End Human Slavery
"Imagine" Art Project with Amador Valley High School &
Walnut Creek
For
the summer of 2008, SAFEHS visited Amador Valley High School and
Las Lomas High in the Bay Area. The Director of SAFEHS, ANNIE
FUKUSHIMA, lectured on the "Three C's of Human Slavery":
The Characteristics, the Challenges, and the Possibility of Change.
After the lecture was completed, students participated in painting
images on 16X20 canvases that reflected their assigned theme,
the characteristics, the challenges, and the possibility of change.
We
want to thank the Amador Valley High School Amnesty International
Chapter, Shelby Margolin of Amador Valley High School, the organizers
of the Amador Valley High School 2008 Human Rights conference, and
Marsha Polovets of Las Lomas High, and the Las Lomas High School
teachers and their students for collaborating with SAFEHS in making
arts an integral part of awareness on the issue of human trafficking.
Paintings
will be featured in the Bay Area during the End Internet Trafficking
Public Forum in September, details coming soon.
