Every 30 seconds a person become a victim of human trafficking. Silence binds us to the chains of shame: loss of freedom, courage, strength and power. Breaking the Silence Together believes that as survivors share stories, we not only unveil the full magnitude of the underreported problem of sexual violence but by our voices a world of hope unfolds for all human kind. While each culture, country, and religion may differ, the value of women and their contributions does not, nor do their rights to have a life free from fear and harm. Every great challenge begins with a first step by step breaking the silence that surrounds urrounds rape, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Each voice becomes a light, and each story a chance for change. Together we can end sexual violence. Life could be lived in freedom and joy, not survived by that which we Lunch Time Service Opportunities August 3, 3 2016 Greeter Marsha Darling Songs Mike Fellows Pledge Dolly Juntilla Thought Mark Matthews Raffle Larry Scott Fines Mark Bagula 4-Way Way August 10, 10 2016 Greeter Keith Dindinger Songs John Fistere Pledge Glenn Kellogg Thought Alek Mikolajczak Raffle Marsha Starr Fines Rob Ridge 4-Way Way August 17, 17 2016 Greeter Rob Ridge Songs Ben Hamilton Pledge Scott Killian Thought Jim Miller Raffle Jay Thompson Fines 4-Wa Wa Sam Bauchmann cannot change. www.breakingthesilencetogether.com If you cannot perform your assigned duty, please arrange for a replacement.
