On June 19, The San Bernardino Police Departmentrescued dozens of girls from sex trafficking. Now, the police must find a place that will heal and restore these victims. Worldteam Foundation will do just that.
Because of L.A.’s vulnerability to human trafficking, Glendora residents, Rick and Sue Clark,
founders of the grassroots organization, Worldteam Foundation, have announced
their plans to open a community counseling center for sexually trafficked,
exploited and abused women and children. The Southern California Restoration
Center (SCRC) will offer rehabilitative and counseling services to the local
public in order to transform victims into survivors.

To raise
funds for the project, Worldteam Foundation has launched its 15th annual
(now known as) Fireworks for Freedom campaign. Worldteam’s fireworks booth will
be selling a variety of dazzling and spectacular fireworks to the public July
1-4th at 753 E. Arrow Highway Azusa, Ca.
Last
year, Worldteam served over 1,000 customers and raised $10,000. The proceeds,
much like what will happen this year, were split 50/50 with another nonprofit
organization. This 4th of July, Worldteam hopes to surpass last
year’s revenue in order to adequately fund the SCRC set to open sometime in
2015.

Rick and Sue Clark began their efforts to stop and
prevent sex trafficking in Thailand over 30 years ago and successfully opened
one safe house in Maesot and sponsored another. In 2008, they launched Worldteam
Foundation to begin resolving the local sex-trafficking problem.
“It’s important to understand that trafficking is not
something that happens in other countries,” said Clark, “We need to fix the
problem here and we need people to be involved in the restoration of this
tragedy and in preventing it.”
