Hello Everyone! Laleo was a huge success - thanks to all who were able to attend. The pictures above are from the event. We were able to raise over $1400 for Innocence Atlanata and the money will all go toward a restoration house that directly helps the girls who are rescued from the sex industry. Keep an eye out for more benefits and events!

If you want any info please e-mail us at OneVoiceATL@gmail.com. Also, visit the Innocence Atlanta website to see how else you can help.

LALEO

Laleo- greek: to speak; to intercede

Come and speak on behalf of those who have been silenced.


Laleo is a benefit concert that will be at Tech on Friday, February 29. There will be live music by Josh Fletcher, Jeff Box, Tyler Lyle, Lauren Love, and Molly Williams. Come join us at Under the Couch (underthecouch.org - for directions) from 7:00-11:00 pm to enjoy music, free coffee, and help bring justice in the city of Atlanta.

All donations go to Innocence Atlanta- a non-profit organization that strives to shed light on and end child trafficking. www.innocenceatlanta.org

Welcome back from Winter Break! We are excited for what this semester will hold for One Voice. On Tech's campus we are working on becoming a chartered organization. We are also scheduled to hold a benefit concert at Under the Couch in March- all proceeds will go toward Angela's House (a reahabilitation home for sexually trafficked girls).


From now through the rest of the semester we are having a donation drive for Wellspring Living- another rehabilitation home for the sexually abused. Bins are available to drop off items in the Library Rotunda, the Student Success Center Lobby, and Howell Learning Center.

Needed items include:
pencils
pens
memo pads
dryer sheets
toothbrushes
toothpaste
liquid hand soap
canned foods

kleenex

Thank you to everyone who has attended all of this weeks events at Tech and Emory!

Join us tonight- Friday October 26 at Glenn Memorial United Methodist (located next to Emory) to hear David Backstone (the author of Not For Sale) speak about this injustice.
Join us also after David's talk for coffee and discussion at Bread Coffeehouse.

On Saturday October 27 join the students of Tech and Emory at the corner of North Avenue and Peachtree to flood the city with prayer and light. Bring a flashlight and plan to meet at 10:00 pm (walk in groups for safety).
The map to the right pinpoints the four most trafficked regions in Atlanta.

Georgia Tech and Emory events

1 million children are forced to sell their bodies in the global sex trade. 300,000 children in America are victims of sexual exploitation. 17,500 new victims are trafficked across U.S. borders each year. Atlanta is believed to house more sexually exploited children than any other city in the United States. These children have remained invisible to the community for so long.
Atlanta must know that these children are not for sale.

Learn more and speak out against the injustice going on in our own backyard.
