The Barnaba Institute is offering two training seminars this year in Connecticut on how to identify human trafficking victims; how to respond once identification is made and how to incorporate the learned materials into your workplace or community. The first seminar is available on March 12-13th at Connecticut College. The second seminar will be available on June 21-23rd at the Westbrook Public Library in Connecticut. Space is still available for the June conference, please inquire if you would like to participate.

Hope for a New Life Jewelry Collection
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.
