Gospels and the first one written probably around the year
70AD. This study is nine weeks long. We begin at 7pm in

You Did It for Me
According to the United Nations, human trafficking is the third
largest international crime industry in the world after illegal
drugs and arms trafficking. With more people enslaved than ever
before, CRS and Caritas Albania are working on a 2-year project
to support survivors. Together with government and civil society
the project supports and strengthens committees, procedures
and plans already in place to help trafficking survivors resume
their lives without being stigmatized.
Tú lo hiciste por mí
De acuerdo con las Naciones Unidas, la trata de personas es la
tercera industria criminal internacional más grande del mundo,
después de las drogas ilegales y el tráfico de armas. Con más
personas esclavizadas que nunca, CRS y Cáritas Albania están
trabajando en un proyecto de dos años para apoyar a los
sobrevivientes. Junto con el gobierno y la sociedad civil, el
proyecto apoya y fortalece los comités, procedimientos y planes
que ya están en marcha para ayudar a los sobrevivientes de la
trata a reanudar sus vidas sin ser estigmatizados.
