May 13, 2009
This spring, Westmont College in Santa Barbara announced plans to offer a Human Trafficking Mayterm Program for Spring 2010, with a focus on studying human trafficking in Cambodia and Thailand. The five-week program will include an intensive weeklong preparatory stint in San Francisco, before participants travel to Cambodia and Thailand for a four-week service learning seminar. The program’s organizer, Brad Berky of the San Francisco Urban Program, will teach courses addressing human trafficking as a global issue. Students will take a Faith, Justice and Globalization course, meeting with community leaders and social service agencies to discuss efforts at eradicating human trafficking. Students will also take a course on Southeast Asian History, Culture and Religious Experiences.
