What moved you to raise awareness for human trafficking?

  • During a training trip to Nepal, Naresh was personally approached by a man trying to trafficking young girls. He was appalled and quickly found a way to try and spread awareness of this disturbing practice. Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing global crimes, and it is a multi-billion dollar industry. Naresh hopes to spread awareness through personal interactions with people around the world to share about this global crisis.
