In partnership with the Not for Sale Campaign (NFS), Global Exchange is organizing this delegation to Peru to educate and mobilize an international abolitionist movement. Today there are roughly 27 million human slaves in bondage, many in the United States itself. 1.2 million children are trafficked each year for the purposes of forced labor, and it is estimated that 1.8 million children are working today in the global sex industry.

These numbers are staggering, yet we are not powerless in the face of this monstrous industry. Delegates on this trip will receive a comprehensive education in the mechanics of human trafficking, as well as an understanding of its underlying causes. Participants will meet with those who have been freed from slavery, learn what it means to rebuild one's life after having been a victim of trafficking, and engage directly with groups and individuals on the front lines of the struggle to expose and ultimately end the trade in human lives.

Upon return, Not for Sale will integrate the insights of the trip directly into an understanding of the nature of human trafficking in the United States and the meaning of working globally on backyard abolitionist activities.

Day 3
Explore the “Surfing Tribe Program”
One of Generacion’ s most dynamic programs revolves around surfing.
Early on in the surfing program Not for Sale helped by providing surfing
equipment so the children could learn how to surf. It is a remarkable scene
to head down to the beach late in the afternoon and watch a group of
ex-street kids mixing in with the locals. Some of Generacion’ s kids are now
entering surfing competitions and performing at a high level. Surfing has
become a meaningful practice that brings physical, psychological, and
spiritual benefits. The children are realizing that through surfing they can

healing process is working and they are doing well in school.
