End Crowd’s field reporter, Laurel, has returned from her volunteer stint in Bangkok and is back home again in Atlanta. We are relishing her reflections about working with trafficked women during her months there… 

She writes: “Out of 7 billion people in the world, God brought me to this little girl. I know I was created to show her how precious and loved she is, to change her world.

When the loan comes due, if they can’t pay, they or their family members find themselves fast-tracked to modern slavery.
