EPISODE 3 of 4: How To Stop Child Trafficking

This week (March 1) on Shabbat Night Live, most people are already aware that child trafficking is a huge problem — yet 90% of funding to help the situation is spent on awareness. Only 10% is spent on rescue.

That leaves nothing for restoration.

This week, Bear Independent explains what YeHoVaH instructed him to do about it, and how you can help him do it.
