Here is an overview of all the activities we'll be engaged in. It is ALOT. We would love your prayers as the Spirit leads you.

--Rachel will participate in a 2.5-week Artist Residency (at Reflection Art Studio) composed of American and Indian visual artists around the topic of Reconciliation Between Men and Women. The residency encourages dialogue and collaboration between artists of various backgrounds surrounding pertinent issues facing contemporary culture.

--Art for Empowerment Workshops (4-days): We will engage 12-15 girls at a safehouse in a series of workshops around a different topic each day, integrating discussion of significant moments in their lives, art projects, EFT (emotional freedom technique that Jackie practices) to help the girls see their unique value and talents and feel empowered. Our goal is that they would learn these tools and be able to use it in helping others. (Jackie & Jen, Young Mi)

--EFT Training for Counselors: train workers who counsel girls and women at a home for rescued victims of sex trafficking.

--Art for Empowerment Training (half day): train leaders on how to use art activities to develop confidence and self-esteem. (Jackie, Jen, YM)

--Talent Spelunking* for High School Students (international students and Indian students): by engaging in discussions around individuals' significant moments in their lives, we hope to help build deeper connection and sense of community as well as to help discover their natural talents.

YM will also engage in team-building activities for this local MTC team.

--Restore Prayer Training: YM will lead a training (1-2 days) on how to facilitate a deep healing prayer session and will also team up with local people to hold Restore prayer sessions for those who request it.
