Project Cambodia 2016 - Siem Reap is a 2-week program focusing on
empowering the at-risk children of trafficking to become future leaders
of their community. We are searching for dynamic youngsters all over the
world to be the mentors conducting this mission in Summer 2016.
Details
Description:
Human
trafficking, addressed as modern day slavery – it involves the movement
of men, women and/or children by means of deception, coercion or threat
for the purposes of exploitation. Persons who suffer from many forms of
exploitation, although rescued, might never be able to escape the
reoccurring trauma in their minds. Governments, organizations, civil
societies and activists around the world are actively involved in the
process to end this crime—prevention, rescue, and rehabilitation. That
being said, it does not mean that we cannot do anything to ease the
pain. Instead, we have to do even more. Simply because we can. Rescue
and rehabilitation require much longer time to take effects and garner
results, while prevention is an effort that aims at leaving no one at
stake of experiencing the most inhumane, disdainful act of exploitation.
Our stand is that prevention is when one does not wait for someone else
or other external forces to act on a cause, but when an action is taken
because of their own belief in the cause and in their own capacities to
do something about it.
Hence, SEALNet
Project Cambodia 2016 – Siem Reap (PC16 – SR)envisions to empower the
at-risk children of trafficking to become future leaders of their
vulnerable communities and strengthen the capacity of youth leaders in
contribution to Siem Reap.
Under two
pillars of SEALNet—leadership and service, the project aims at two
target groups: the local adolescents (mentees) and the at-risk
children of human trafficking in Siem Reap.
In the
leadership component, we hope to bring together the passionate youth
in Siem Reap to underscore their role and spark their interest in the
community services and intensively train them with necessary skills to
realize their potential and their community-based initiatives.
In the
service component, a comprehensive curriculum of human trafficking in
the local context is tailored to mentees and the children at risk of
human trafficking, so that they gain capacity to protect not only
themselves but also their community.
During this journey, the project members will come to internalize the central theme, ‘The Act of Empowering From Within’.
