We were pleasantly surprised this week to receive an e-mail (several actually) from Rahab Foundation in Costa Rica. As many will remember, we volunteered some time with them during our time in Costa Rica, and became friends with the founder and director Mariliana Morales, and her family. Well, this week Mariliana was one of seven people worldwide who were recognized by the Obama administration for their work against human trafficking. Mariliana was invited to Washington, where she met with Secretary of State Clinton, and was able to address the audience. Go to http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2009a/06/124872.htm for a transcript of the presentation, as well as to view a video, that reportedly has Mariliana speaking (we wouldn’t know, because we are still in the land of dialup internet access).
Congratulations to Mariliana and the entire Rahab Team!
