Human trafficking and the harsh realities that come with it are largely overlooked in today’s world. Thrive Lemon Grove is supporting UNICEF’s End Child Trafficking Program.  Together, we are striving to bring light to the issue of modern-day slavery, both globally and locally.

 

 On Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. at the Lemon Grove Library there will be a free screening of the documentary, “Not My Life,” which covers human trafficking and contemporary slavery.
