This week I would like to highlight Caleb LaPlante. Caleb is a Realtor at the local John L. Scott office in Grants Pass. He is also in my Rotary Club.
Caleb has spent countless hours volunteering to STOP human trafficking. As the (Volunteer) Outreach Coordinator with ACT Southern Oregonhttps://actsouthernoregon.com/ he partnered with Rebecca Bender Ministries to bring prevention education to local schools.
During his first year as a Rotarian, Caleb brought 4 local clubs together and applied for a Rotary District Grant to bring the More Than A Survivor Exhibithttp://mtas-roguevalley.com/ to Southern Oregon and our Rotary District Conference in Bend.
Caleb is now working on a Global Rotary Grant to Combat Sex Trafficking in the Philippines called the Manila Project. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/…/Combating%20Sex%20Traff…
This all started a few years ago when Caleb saw a news story about a local girl that was trafficked and wanted to do something about it. How often have I seen something in the news and been moved, upset and saddened, but left it at that? I have prayed for people, even donated money, but Caleb is taking something that upset him, and is moving forward to make a significant difference in this world.
I am so proud of you my friend. I am honored to know you. Thank you for being HIS hands and feet here on earth. #52shoutouts
