Barnaba Institute Training Video/Documentary
The Barnaba Institute created a training video/documentary under the Barnaba Institute Pilot Project, sponsored by the Ittleson Foundation. This video gives the viewer a general overview about domestic human trafficking and outreach work in addition to highlighting the work and methodology of Frank N. Barnaba. This 30 minute video is best suited for direct care professionals who work with youth and adults who may be exploited and/or trafficked.
The Barnaba Institute’s Hope for a New Life Jewelry includes a necklace and bracelet that were designed with two things in mind: First, to be symbolic and unique to the Barnaba Institute; and second, to be easy to assemble—the goal being to have groups of all ages (to eventually include rescued victims) to join a Circle of Hope Knotting Group.
Finished pieces are inserted into a clear plastic bag, with a small card stamped “Handmade with Love” and a diecut heart. Jewelry consist of a black or brown cord with a silver tube bead connected to 3 charms -- a healing hand, a hope charm, and a pair of tiny silver bells signifying a call for help. There are 2 custom-made beads on either end in Barnaba Institute colors—deep blue signifying hope, and vivid green signifying life. The beads are small replicas of our planet. Necklaces sell for $20 and bracelets for $15. New! Simply Hope Necklace for $12. Please visit the Barnaba Institute store today to purchase your Hope jewelry.
