The SOLD Interns are shifting into phase II of our internship. The past few months have been a time of studying, dialoging and educating ourselves on the issue of child prostitution. We’ve also spent time reading up on The SOLD Project's mission, philosophy and programs. Armed with knowledge and passion, we will now begin hosting various educational events in our respective cities.
We encourage you to check back often to see what’s happening in your area!
The following is a Facebook announcement re-post:

Two students who worked with the organizations over this past summer will also facilitate a short discussion afterward and answer any questions.
When: Monday, November 16
Where: Morse B-104
(Monterey Institute of International Studies)

The SOLD Project Documentary: Thailand (www.thesoldproject.com)
In the summer of 2007, The SOLD Project journeyed through Thailand with a common mission: to expose the plight of children trapped by prostitution. The documentary is a collection of short films that expose the truth behind child prostitution in Thailand and the hope that exists in prevention.
"Sisters of the Himalaya" by Empowering Women in Nepal
The organization works to empower disadvantaged women (mostly from rural areas of Nepal) by training them to be trekking guides and providing them work opportunities after the training. The ice-climbing training is an advanced training for those who are already working as guides, mostly as a leadership, empowerment exercise.
