Guyana’s Tier 1 status in combating Trafficking in Persons (TIP) is a great accomplishment.

A picture of the cover page of the liturgy (order of service) for a church service I did on Human Trafficking/Trafficking in Persons (TIP) in Kingston, Jamaica (refer to the Sunday, 7 February, 2016 article on this blog)

The topic of combating Human Trafficking or Trafficking in Persons is one that is dear to my heart. I gave much attention to this topic while pursuing a Masters degree in Jamaica. I have preached (in Jamaica), conducted bible studies at more than 6 churches (in Jamaica), facilitated presentations (in Guyana), wrote an article (for this blog), and wrote a thesis (in partial fulfillment of the requirements for my Masters Degree) on this topic. I am very happy that Guyana has finally been given a tier 1 status. Everyone who played a part in this nation reaching this status, including TIP Hero Minister Simona Broomes, Minister Amna Ally, Tanisha Williams, Oliver Profitt, and everyone in the Ministry of Social Protection should be applauded. 

However, now is not the time to relax because the fight continues. Everyone in Guyana and around the world must get involved in combating this modern day slavery.
