The student chapter of Amnesty International at TCIS (which LeeAnne helps out with) had a busy week this past week. The students are running an anti-human trafficking campaign, and they have written letters to several Asian governments asking for laws to be made and enforced that would eliminate human trafficking in the region (it is a huge problem in countries like Thailand and Cambodia, and even South Korea is involved in some trafficking activity). This week there was an amazing piece of student art on our grand staircase that depicted people suffering as the result of trafficking, and students created living pieces of art around campus, sitting in squares made of tape and wearing signs with the campaign's slogan "Don't Disown Me". They also did chapel and assembly presentations to raise awareness about the issue, conducted a big poster and locker note campaign, and will be collecting signatures on petitions that will be sent to the South Korean government during our school's big International Festival today, Saturday, May 3rd. The students have done such a great job raising awareness about human trafficking this week at TCIS!
