Ludza

This week I had the opportunity to go to Ludza in the eastern part of Latvia to conduct a seminar educating people on Human Trafficking. I had never been to Latgale (the eastern region of Latvia) before and jumped at the opportunity. Since the city was less than 30 kilometers from the Russian border we had a number of border guards and policemen and also people from NGOs. We taught them things like what is human trafficking, how to identify a victim, how people get trafficked and what is rehabilitation. It was very interesting to hear their perspectives and see what they could actually do to stop people from getting trafficked.
Here are some of the pictures from my trip



This is were we slept in Latvian they call it campings. It was actually really nice!
This is one of the presentations from the seminar. The arrows pointing to the Paldies (thank you in Latvian) show just how many opportunities there are to save someone from being trafficked.
