S.O.A.P. is a project that involves wrapping bars of soap in labels that have the national human trafficking hotline (1-888-3737-888) printed on them. Hotels are hotspots for trafficking. Victims and customers are easily hidden among those who come and go from their many rooms. The labeled bars are distributed to local hotels to be placed in bathrooms, creating the opportunity for victims to seek necessary help. Along with these bars, posters of missing children are handed out to hotel staff members, encouraging them to report any suspicious activity that could occur at their place of employment.

We invite you to join us on September 7 as we drive around to hotels in our area and offer them these labeled, complimentary soaps. You’ll also have the opportunity to hear from WAR Founder and President, Becky McDonald, and Theresa Flores herself. The cost is just $15, which covers your lunch (catered by our own Tea Trade Cafe). Registration for this event is required prior to Wednesday, September 4

Originally designed as a training for WAR, Int’l speakers, it is now open to anyone desiring to learn the heart and soul of our organization. Staff, consultants, volunteers, and interested community members are invited to join us for this enjoyable time of learning and interacting with WAR, Int’l’s founder and each other. The training, held in the area that houses our Encompassed Creations (US Training Center) program for rescued and at-risk Americans, includes a tour of WAR, Int’l headquarters and lunch catered by the Tea Trade Cafe.
