What Are Act Teams Doing?

Some of our friends have organized themselves into what the SA Foundation calls "ACT Teams". This structure enables them to offer lasting solutions as they take a stand against the sex trade industry.

   Grande Prairie, AB

The Friends of SAF International in Grande Prairie (spearheaded by Deb Bloomer and her team) have certainly aligned themselves to join in the fight against sexual exploitation and trafficking!

Many initiatives have come out of this city, from churches organizing Fun Runs, to individuals partnering with SAF in addressing their local issue of exploitation, to an ACT team forming with the goal of raising $500,000.00 in support for the Foundation’s 2009-2010 budget!

Please contact the SA Foundation for more information about how you can join current initiatives in this city!
