Sally and Lowell Senitz

At the Lehigh Acres Senior Center Lunch Bunch on June 20, Sally and Lowell Senitz, spoke on behalf of Wings of Shelter International Inc. in Southwest Florida about their goal to intervene in human trafficking and child slavery.

They are a catalyst to provide public, political, judicial and educational awareness in regard to this Number one devastating crime worldwide of human trafficking.

They said they help provide Safe Houses, like the one in Estero at 21301 S. Tamiami Trail for children, through the generosity of donors both locally in the U.S. and the world.

Attendees at the Senior Center gave cleaning supplies to the Estero Safe House.

Universally, 27 million people are held in slavery, evident in friends, relatives and neighbors via home computers, businesses, local malls, parks and playgrounds in our towns, they told the group.

“Unbelievably 80 percent are females, and 50 per cent are children as young as 4,” they said.

“Safe Houses help to restore local rescued lives and change their legacy and ours.”

They are available for speaking programs regarding strengthening of local and U.S. practices and policy in exploitation, human trafficking and slavery.
