Happy Thanksgiving!

Today, as we wrap up our gratitude list, we want to honor the cycle breakers—those who courageously stand against trauma, exploitation, and challenges to create a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

🌟 The first photo features Hasta Memorial School, a beacon of hope in a remote village in Nepal. By providing early childhood education, the school is taking vital steps to prevent trafficking and gender-based violence.

🌟 The second photo highlights the incredible work at the Loyal Workshop in Kolkata, India. This initiative offers alternative employment to women forced into the s*x trade, empowering them to reclaim their lives with dignity and purpose.

🌟 The third photo showcases a mural at Jeevan Aadhar, a transformative aftercare center for people who survived being trafficked. Through safe housing, therapy, education, and job readiness training, Jeevan Aadhar equips them to rebuild their lives and thrive.

🌟 The fourth photo is from our 10th anniversary celebration. We are deeply grateful for the past and present supporters enabling I Am Global Academy to be what it is today. Their belief in our mission has made our work possible.

This Thanksgiving, we are humbled and inspired by the strength of the individuals and communities we’ve had the privilege to work with over the years. To the cycle breakers, the supporters, and everyone who shares this mission: thank you. Together, we are proving that change is possible.

This Thanksgiving week, we’re reflecting on our recent trip to India and Nepal and are sharing what we’re grateful for. Today, we’re thinking about the power of joy and the little moments that bring light into even the heaviest of days.

The photo captures a simple but sweet memory at Ashaloy, a drop-in center in Kolkata's largest redlight area. At Ashaloy, children receive educational opportunities and holistic care, while women are supported with encouragement and guidance toward alternative employment. After wrapping up activities with the kids, we realized we’d forgotten to hand out stickers. So, we told the staff to take some for themselves and to use them as they wish with the kids later. We were completely surprised by how excited the staff got and how much fun they had picking out stickers that reflected their personalities and interests.

The video highlights another joyful moment at Upasana, a preventive home for minor girls at high risk of being trapped into the commercial s*x trade industry. We were doing a warmup activity with silly movements to help the group relax and have fun, and we loved witnessing the kids’ laughter and joy at seeing some of the staff doing the moves too.

In the work against trafficking and exploitation, the challenges often feel immense, and progress can be slow. But it’s these moments of joy—no matter how small—that give us reprieve, sustain us, and allow us to keep going.

It's Thanksgiving week, and we’re starting off our gratitude list with hope!

Hope flourishes when people can set their own goals, have a clear pathway to achieve them, and believe in their ability to succeed.

At the Savera Training Center Association in Mumbai, these handcrafted bags are tangible evidence of progress and hope. Situated in one of the city's redlight areas, Savera builds meaningful relationships with women in the community and offers a tailor training program that paves the way for sustained employment at Somerset Exports.

As the trainees learn new skills and complete each training module, they not only move closer to achieving their goals but also witness the transformative power of their own resilience and determination.

During our visit, we did a flower craft activity at the center and explained that each flower layer is like the different parts of life. One of the women shared what each colored layer meant for her: "The black represents all the problems in my life. Red is the love I’ve received at Savera which has given me this green layer…this is hope. Then there are more layers underneath which are the growth to come."

Our team just got back from visiting partners in India and Nepal, and our hearts are so full of gratitude. As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, we're looking forward to sharing more about our trip and all that we're grateful for.

Today in Mumbai, our team visited an outreach center in one of the red light districts. This group visits with the women, provides lunch, medical services, and life-skills training to help show them that they can have a different, better life.
We walked with them for their outreach time, and also made these tissue paper flowers with the women at the center. We explained that life has many folds and changes, even sometimes difficulties (while cutting the paper), but these things when surrounded by love can transform into something new and beautiful.
