Paving The Way Foundation will be hosting a screening of Trapped in the Trade, a docudrama that shines a light on the world of human trafficking. The film is compelling, engaging and deeply human; showing the reality of unknown dangers in relationships and the allure of being a part of the ‘in’ crowd. It also offers hope by encouraging and empowering you to take action. Following the film a Mission Ambassador with Paving the Way Foundation will be leading a conversation designed to empower you to take actions that can prevent our children from being trafficked. Why is this important?
Here are some facts:
*Florida has the 3rd highest number of calls to the National Trafficking Hotline, only behind California and Texas.
*Orange County has the highest rate of human trafficking cases in the state only behind Hillsborough.
*The average age children are trafficked is 12.
There is a solution and it begins with us! We can stop trafficking today.
* Recommended for children 12 and up with parent supervision. Sensitive topics will be discussed.

The Alafaya Branch has a long history of providing library services to the East Orange County community. The branch originally opened in 1965 as the Azalea Park branch, situated on Lake Barton Road. From the 1970s through the 1990s the branch provided library services from shopping center locations. Ground was broken in January 1999 for a new branch, designed to be the prototype branch for future Orange County Library System branches. Opened on February 1, 2000, the Alafaya branch was funded by a Florida Library Construction Grant.
