Feb 11th Presentation at the Healdsburg High School

It was a big day. Our dream came true. Over 200 students showed up at the Black Box and the MC Josh Gordon started by introducing the project of Teens Against Human trafficking and then Monique Lessan, the founder of the project. Monique then introduced Laura Taylor and her daughter Kaylee who was kidnapped several  years ago from Santa Rosa J.C. Kaylee proudly stood by her mother, contributing her share to the project. 
Then the three films started. They each had their perspective of what sex trafficking means to each group of students. The first two were somewhat humorous but the last one  involved suicide of one of the girls and selling her kidneys and hiring a Private Detective Monique Lessan to recover the abducted girl.
Then the students asked their questions and received their answers by the students along with whistles for emergencies. It was a great day for Healdsburg high school. Helen Sager of Soroptimist International Of Santa Rosa who sponsored this project passed out certificates of accomplishment.to every participating student.
