My Walkathon

Support my campaign to raise funds

From 2011-1013 we had an event called Traffick Jam Walk-a-Thon. It was a nationwide fundraiser held by the Hard Places Community to support sexually abused and trafficked boys in Cambodia.  The first year for Traffick Jam was 2011 and it was a huge success. Nationally we raised over $75,000; enough to open Punlok Thmey Prevention and Restoration Center for Boys in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and fund it for most of the year. Punlok Thmey (poon-lok ta-my) is a drop-in center for boys ages 5-24 who are at risk of being sexually exploited. The area we have chosen for the center has a high concentration of boys working and living on the streets. Because of the poor economic state and lack of education of the majority of these boys and their families, they are at high risk for exploitation by local men, tourists, and expatriates. The fact that on September 12th, 2011 the center was able to start it's programing is a huge blessing. God cares about these children and wants them to be whole and have a future.
