Transcript
Dave [00:00:00] You're listening to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. This is episode number 8, recorded in July 2011. Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. My name is Dave Stachowiak.

Sandie [00:00:28] And my name is Sandra Morgan.

Dave [00:00:30] And this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Sandie, glad to be back with you again today to talk more about how we can play a role, all of us in ending human trafficking and continuing our conversation about partnership that we had from episode number 7.

Sandie [00:00:52] And one of the groups that we want to make sure we develop opportunities for reaching out and having partnerships with is our young people that are students in high schools and colleges and universities.

Dave [00:01:06] And that's actually the focus of our topic today is talking with someone who's been an integral role of really raising awareness on about human trafficking and how we can all play a part in ending human trafficking and not just at the government level and with large organizations, but also the student level and raising awareness among college students who not only can learn about this issue, but can really be strong advocates for being able to address it. And we have a guest here today to speak to that.

Sandie [00:01:38] And I have to really key off of your words strong advocates, strength in energy and in passion and in commitment. And when we offer opportunities for university, college and high school students to get involved, they can do hands and feet work that some of us who are a little more worn might not have the same kind of capacity and energy level to complete. So I'm very excited to introduce Tiffany Wong who was this past year's president at Live2Free Club at Vanguard University and actually received congressional recognition for her work on this and in the area of outreach and awareness in Orange County.

Dave [00:02:24] Very cool.

Sandie [00:02:25] So, Tiffany, welcome.

Tiffany [00:02:27] Hi.

Sandie [00:02:29] So, Tiffany, I have a list of questions here I want to ask you. I think that I want people to know a little bit about you. And did you have a background in human trafficking when you first started working with Live2Free?

Tiffany [00:02:45] No. And I actually barely knew anything about human trafficking.
