Countering Trafficking Summit
Johnson University is inviting the community to join them for a counter trafficking training and awareness summit March 8th. Participants will learn what human trafficking is, how and where human trafficking occurs, strategies to help fight human trafficking, and sector specific actions and responses. For more information or to register, please visit the event webpage here.
Cellphone Collection
Do you have an old cellphone lying around? Rather than throwing it away, donate it! Amanda Haire, a member of Immanuel Church and a zookeeper at the Knoxville Zoo, is collecting old cellphones to help with the Knoxville Zoo’s efforts to conserve the natural habitats of wild gorillas. Coltan, a mineral found in cellphones, is often mined in these habitats, but by collecting old cellphones the mineral can be recycled and reduce the demand for new coltan. If you have an old cellphone that you would like to donate, you may drop it off in a donation box located in the atrium!
