Fuller alum and social justice advocate, Rachel Goble, is
featured in this article regarding her nonprofit foundation, The SOLD Project,
which helps young girls in Thailand escape sex trafficking. Along with transforming the lives of dozens
of young girls, the article mentions the nonprofit has provided scholarships
for 120 young students so they can stay in school, increasing their chances of
escaping a life of prostitution.
Prior to her current pursuits, the author makes specific
mention of Goble’s experience at Fuller, where she was able to “design a program
that would give her the freedom to develop her own interests” in the
cross-cultural studies program.
“Her graduate
course work at Fuller sparked an investigation into children at risk, which led
Goble to visit India
and South Africa to research her capstone project,” it said.
Ultimately for
Goble, she realized that a key factor in ending sex trafficking is through
prevention, which starts with education.
