Today I had the opportunity to interview Jose Alfaro, a former victim of child trafficking, a active participant in department of homeland security hearings on child trafficking, and a author of his own autobiographic book. In the interview we talked about his story, how he overcame the trauma of being trafficked, his feelings on what the government could to prevent this from happening in the future, and if there were any volunteer opportunity’s for us to help the cause to prevent child trafficking. Everything he talked about was very informative and he even gave us permission to voice record the entire interview. He talked about how he believed the best way we as a society we could prevent something like this from happening to any of us, was to educate our selves on the topic. He also mentioned how he though the best way for the government to respond to such a major issue is to build more affordable housing and homeless shelters to give kids and people the opportunities that he did not have which eventually led him to get trafficked.
