Today, we finally had the opportunity to teach at Thurgood Marshall Academy! We all were mostly excited to interact with the students and share with them our knowledge of human trafficking. I was surprised at how well the lesson plan went today: the class was receptive of what we had to say and actively participated and discussed. Some students even knew the facts before we said them! I lead an activity with Lucas, which went pretty well. We had students describe and draw on the whiteboard stereotypical depictions of "pimps" and "hoes" and explain why they made those choices. They also learned about the definition of human trafficking, the steps, and rape/consent. I would say that the students enjoyed the lesson, and I genuinely enjoyed working together with everyone to teach.
After Thurgood Marshall, we went to Shared Hope International to help write a grant proposal for new technology. We came up with a few ideas of where to get funding and watched a presentation on the general facts of human trafficking. This was also a good experience because I learned some figures about human trafficking (like how much money the industry actually makes).
We came back early and prepared dinner, then ate with AB alumni visiting. Today was an awesome day, and everyone is excited to go back to Thurgood to teach some more tomorrow!
