SOLD in Sunnyside



The SOLD exhibit made it's second appearance this weekend in conjunction with Sunnyside's Promise and Oasis Community Church.

We were able to come alongside organizations and individuals who have their hands in deep on issues of trafficking in their area and give them another tool for building awareness. They provided wonderful volunteers, strong backs, and eager hearts, and managed to get even their mayor to go through the exhibit.

Our amazing audio guys remixed the narrative track for this showing - with even more improvements on the way, including a public school friendly version. The high school youth group at Bethel gave up time on a Sunday night to create more Red Hand petitions for the Yemen room. My parents volunteered their weekend to serve at the exhibit. And, folks in Sunnyside put in countless hours rounding up volunteers and making sure that the word got out.

Set up and tear down went smoothly thanks to a largely teenaged work crew, and volunteers from VISTA and elsewhere in the valley helped two eight hour days to go by without a glitch.

Now, we just need to find out where we're going next!
