At the April 6 Moultonborough Women's Club meeting, sex trafficking survivor Jasmine Grace narrated her journey as a vulnerable teen through six years of physical, mental and emotional bondage, originally initiated in her own town. She shares her story of victimization, eventual recovery, and forgiveness not only to raise trafficking awareness but also to offer support to others, including a path to safe housing &nbsp;and Bags of Hope filled with basic personal items for those without a permanent home.&nbsp; Jasmine's self-published book, <a data-mce-href="https://www.jasminegrace.org/jasmine-grace-book" href="https://www.jasminegrace.org/jasmine-grace-book" title="The Diary of Jasmine Grace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Diary of Jasmine Grace.</a>Thanks to MWC members who donated toiletries for future Bags of Hope. Kudos also to MWC volunteers who generated two amazing bake sales in March, netting $2,237.25 for the club's scholarship fund for local students.Additional Moultonborough Women's Club information, including community and educational opportunities, is available at www.moultonboroughwomensclub.org. &nbsp;Anyone interested in joining the club is invited to make contact via <a title="our email" href="mailto:Mborowomensclub@gmail.com &nbsp;" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-href="mailto:Mborowomensclub@gmail.com">our email</a>.&nbsp;
