Sponsorship Opportunities

Become a Sponsor by Adopting a Quilt

 

We cordially invite you to become part of this unique theatrical event by adopting a quilt made by Thai human trafficking

survivors. In doing so, you will not only support the play and the anti-human trafficking efforts of Thai CDC, but you will also

recognize the victims' experiences and become a spokesperson for their individual stories. Each quilt represents what

the survivors have been through, including the El Monte workers. The El Monte survivors experienced 18-hour workdays,

without holiday or weekend rest, some for as long as seven years. They were unwittingly locked up in a sweatshop apartment

complex, surrounded by barbed wire. Today, the survivors have utilized their sewing skills to create beautiful quilts,

stitching their stories into patterns of art, in the hope that people will remember their experiences and that others,

like them, will be prevented from being similarly victimized.
