The Exchange Club of Springfield met at Buckeye Sports Lodge this Tuesday September 27th, and Club President Mark Sullivan presented a check for $750 from our Foundation to Project Woman Executive Director Laura Baxter and Shelter Services Coordinator Nina Naufahu to assist them in their good work.
Human trafficking is a very lucrative and, compared to drug trafficking, underreported criminal phenomenon. In an introductory letter for the US State Department’s 2016 Trafficking in Persons Report, Secretary of State John Kerry estimated the industry to be worth $150 billion per year. We have a least a half dozen cases in Clark County right now, and Project Woman is one of a number of organizations in our county helping the victims.
