Trip: Stopping Traffic at the Corner of Humans & Justice
It feels a little
unreal how time flew so quickly and we’re already halfway done with the
semester. But here we are today, on day one of our Alternative Break trip and I
am extremely humbled to be a part of this journey with twelve other intriguing
women; working on a project that focuses on stopping human trafficking. Today was quite relaxed - we drove down to DC and headed to
Taco District for dinner. While dinner was absolutely great, I noticed a poster
on the bulletin board which said “We are all Immigrants”. This got me thinking
about how grateful I am to be studying in the United States of America because
this a place where people openly express their views and discuss the social
cracks that exists within its society and it’s important to realize that even a
country like the United States can have social problems, one
of the major ones being human trafficking. The integral part lies in actively
working towards overcoming these social problems, in any way – big or small.
All you need is a little bit of initiative!
