Every now-and-then, a creative project reaches out and touches you in
an unexpected way. My screenplay, “Stay,” based on one woman’s experience with
reoccurring dreams, has done just that for me.
While my fictional character interacts with abused Kenyan girls, even
jeopardizing her own life, through much research, I’ve come to learn that real
life human trafficking is a growing problem across the country and in the U.S.
I’ve also come to learn that the Salvation Army offers services for this cause.
My investigation on the subject led me to numerous safe houses in Kenya and the
U.S. that also offer ways in which individuals can help. My project often tears
me up, yet, it is laced with beauty and hope. It even inspired me to contribute to this
cause, and for that, I am grateful. ~ Pamela Towns
