August 9 2011

Carol Metzker presented August 9 on : The World's Dirtiest Secret: Revealing and Solving Modern-Day Slavery The quilted wall hanging, created with scraps from damaged dresses, was made by survivors of trafficking and a volunteer friendship group. Its creators come from five countries, speak even more languages (some now learning English), and represent three Chester County Rotary clubs, three different faiths and have birthdates spanning three decades. The quilting activity was accomplished without a common language, skill, talent or budget, but formed the beginnings of a special friendship.
