Episode 026: Brittany Partridge, The Red Thread Movement
Manage episode 158038544 series 1240997
Brittany Partridge doesn't just talk about making a positive difference in the world. She does it. And she's been doing it since age 17.
At 17, Brittany went on a mission trip to Romania where she met other girls her age. These girls, however, were among the millions of young people around the world being bought and sold through a global network of human trafficking.
That experience inspired Brittany to foundThe Red Thread Movement, which is devoted to (1) raising money to combat sex trafficking in Nepal and (2) generating awareness of human trafficking.
On the surface, Brittany's story may not sound like those nerdy adventures we normally feature. But when you look deeper, you'll find that her motivation is born from the same unquenchable urge to solve real problems in creative and sustainable ways that we all share.
Tis the season of reflection and gratitude. So please, take some time to be thankful for the simple wonders we enjoy every day. And listen to how one person works to give those little wonders to those in dire need.
