To provide Chai to consumers & empower them to create change as they consume daily. It's really very simple. With every bag of chai sold, Chai 4 Change partners with a change making organization locally and globally that helps rescue and rehabilitate child trafficking victims.How amazing is that? You can drink a cup of tea and save lives from one of the most disgusting industries of our world.Serena, the founder of Chai 4 Change, has be a great friend of mine for a few years. During a visit for tea and catching up in her home, she told me about her idea and vision. I immediately asked her if I could jump on board as her photographer. I could clearly see her vision, and really wanted to be apart of helping save the lives of Children. Human trafficking has been on my heart for most of my adult life, so it was a natural fit for Serena and I to come together, visually.
HU·MAN TRAF·FICK·ING:
the illegal movement of people, typically for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor.Child victims of trafficking are recruited, transported, transferred, harbored or received for the purpose of exploitation. They may be forced to work in sweatshops, on construction sites or in houses as domestic servants; on the streets as child beggars, in wars as child soldiers, on farms, in traveling sales crews or in restaurants and hotels. Some are forced to work in brothels and strip clubs or for escort and massage services.Trafficking is not just an issue that happens to people in other countries. The United States is a source and transit country, and is also considered one of the top destination points for victims of child trafficking and exploitation.
