I went to Thailand and built a village for 27 rescued children and this is where my passion to help prevent modern day slavery came from.

I want us to continue to scale and grow over the coming years in education, professional development and employment to bring about change in people's lives.

During 2007 "Not for Sale" was born from a problem I saw in Thailand. We established a basic level of care to the community there. Over the years our effective means of response has changed to help provide people with choices for the future.

Together we can make a difference and empower communities to be self sufficient.

I like to think that Not For Sale is the Juniper Networks of the social section, a disruptive innovator.

The initial spark that promoted me to start Not For Sale was human trafficking in the San Francisco Bay Area. This led me to take a journey around the world on how this could exist in the 21st century.

Technology is very important; it enables connection to one another, which is essential.
