THE HEART BEHIND THE EVENING
We invite you to join us on August 20th for a special evening as we share the heart behind our mission. Through the premiere of an artistically crafted film, we'll explore the realities of poverty-driven exploitation and celebrate the expanding impact of our proven, scalable approach to ending the conditions that allow it to exist.
INTRODUCING
LIGHT ON THE WATER
A FILM BY SEAN ECONOMOU
The centerpiece of the evening is an artistically crafted short film. Together, in Benedictine's assembly hall, we'll watch the story unfold — a window into the realities we're working to end, and the lives already changing because of it.
