12 February 2015
Hello everyone!
The year of 2015 has commenced with great excitement for our society! We have established new connections in the field of human trafficking and introduced new ideas and initiatives towards our awareness and campaigns against modern 
slavery. Following this line of thinking, we have successfully run a “PUB QUIZ” event on 12 February 2015 in Woody’s Bar at Kent university campus in Canterbury, https://www.facebook.com/UKAHT2014. The aim was to fundraise on behalf of a charity “Purple Teardrop” (http://www.purpleteardrop.org.uk/) in the hopes to raise money to support their anti-trafficking initiatives and to support the work of our society. Purple Teardrop charity is established by Soroptimist International:
“That is a dedicated imitative to stopping sex-trafficking in UK by raising awareness of the issue with the public, supporting safe houses for trafficking victims and campaigning to support the demand for the services of trafficked women.”
The event turned out to be very successful and to our surprise more than 30 people had attended and we are very pleased to announce we have managed to raise £83. Let’s not forget our biggest highlight of the night was “the participants” whom without we would not have been able to raise money for our chosen charity. Indeed, the spirit of the participating audience was uplifting and overall it was a very satisfying experience to see that our interventions to raise awareness of human trafficking are making a bigger impact across the university and beyond.
On my final note, we would like to express our biggest appreciation for the raffle price donations we have received from generous individuals and UKC Amnesty International Society as well as Woody’s Bar for helping in organisation of the venue:
