here is no breaking
the chain in a Verona
mans efforts to end
child slavery in Ghana, West
Africa.
It has been nine years
since Evan Robbins, 50, of
Verona has been dedicated
to rescuing, rehabilitating
and rejuvenating child
slaves. Since 2006, Robbins
has rescued 51 children and
is caring for 73 through a
social worker in Ghana. In
2011, he started his nonprofit
organization,

founder/president
of
BTCTE, and social studies
teacher at Metuchen High
School. Children are so
vulnerable.
Robbins began his efforts
nine years ago when his
daughter, Mia, was six years
old and had a little six-year
old illness. At that time, he
was reading an article in the
New York Times about a
six year old boy who was a
child slave that had been
trafficked, working 15 hour
days, fed one meal a day,
beaten and forced to dive
under the water to untangle
fishing nets, at risk of
drowning or getting injured.
When I thought about
my daughters life and this
kids life, says Robbins, he
thought, we are caring for
her and no one is caring for
him.
In his first year, Robbins
invited a speaker- a former
slave from Sudan, Africa- to
his class at Metuchen High
School, to start working on
the issue of trafficking and
slavery in Ghana. They
began their fundraising
efforts
through
the
International Organization
for Migration. Robbins then
sponsored a walk and raised
$7,000; followed by a walk
and dinner, along with his
daughters Bat Mitzva project the following year, raising more than $20,000; and
another fundraiser in 2008,
raising $10,000.
It was in Feb. 2010,
when Robbins joined in on a
nine-day rescue mission to
Ghana, and saw first-hand
how the children were
working in the fishing
industry as slaves, getting up
at 5 a.m.
There were thousands,
describes Robbins. We
went to a few villages. We
tried to convince fisherman
to rescue the children. They
agreed to five of them. It
was a lot of persuasion. We
talked to them about why it
was wrong to traffic children and how they should be
in school.
Through that mission,
Robbins was able to rescue
four boys and one girl, ages
12 to 14 years old, and

teachers to live in the village, with three more housing units added last year to
add three more teachers.
In Feb. 2012, Robbins
returned with 11 people who
wanted to help; among them
was Dr. Elizabeth Chalom
of Livingston and three of
her children.
We got to see some of
the kids who were freed,
says Chalom, Many looked
down
and
were
depressed.
Chalom
describes the village as
very primitive with its
mud huts, one bathroom,
chickens running around.
Children are forced into
slavery to do the fishing
and run the boats at Lake
Volta in Ghana, the worlds
largest man-made lake,
describes Chalom. The kids
must go overboard to free
the nets when they get tancontinued on page 14

Its simple: hospital patient demand for
blood often outpaces our best efforts to
recruit donors and schedule blood drives,
said NYBC Executive Director of Donor
Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. There are
always reasons but we have to overcome
that for the sake of hospital patients who
need us.
This is one of the toughest times of the
year, Cefarelli added. Were asking for
our dedicated supporters to roll up their
sleeves to make sure were able to provide
our hospital partners with whatever they
need to take care of their patients.
Blood products have a short shelf life,
from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there
are patients who depend on the transfusion
of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to
stay alive. But blood and blood products
cant be manufactured. They can only come
from volunteer blood donors who take an
hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor
center.
To donate blood or for information on
how to organize a blood drive, call 1-800933-2566. Visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

any people struggle to find their
passion in life,
while others discover it at a
young age. David Guy, a
West Orange High School
senior, fell in love with art as
a child and on May 4,
received the second place
medal for a Congressional
Art Award for the 10th
District from Congressman
Donald Payne Jr.
My art has always been
influenced by the things
around me, Guy said. The
environment or my internal
environment, its all an
interpretation
of
my
thoughts and whats going
on around here. Visual art is
a way to you to see someones sight to convey an
emotion. If youre skilled
enough, it makes the world a

Guy, 18, began drawing
cartoons with his brother,
Aubrey Tucker, 28, in elementary school, but in sixth
grade, had to choose
between visual arts and
musical arts in school and
selected music. While he
played bass, his love for art
never faltered. He did art at
home and would often get
yelled at by teachers for
drawing in class. In addition
to Aubrey, Guy was influenced by his eighth grade

Malkin herself almost lost her life. Unable to stop crying after they had been hidden, her family tried to poison
her so that she would not give them away. The effort failed
and Malkin survived, adjusting to life in hiding until the
liberation of Poland on July 19, 1944.
In 2009, a documentary entitled No. 4 Street of Our
Lady, detailing the story of Halamajowa and those she
saved, was released. Malkins uncle Moshe Maltz also
published his diary, Years of Horror, Glimpse of Hope:
The Diary of a Family in Hiding, in 1996.
What I felt throughout my childhood was that there
was no normalcy, said Malkin. Her family was found in
a refugee camp after the war by an American relative who
sponsored their move to America. They settled in Newark.
After the war, no one talked about it, she continued.
It was not until they began filming the documentary
that Malkin began to talk about her experiences and memories. Talk to your parents and grandparents, Malkin
told the students. Everyone has a story to tell.
Malkin ended the assembly by taking a few questions
and commenting that the world has not changed much
since WWII, citing ISIS and other terrorist organizations,
as well the progression of bullying.
You follow a group because they make you feel
important, Malkin noted, connecting bullying to the rise
of Germany under Hitlers rule. But bullying always
leads to more.
Being a victim is the worst thing you can do, she

This gives our campers an opportunity
to honestly discuss issues they are facing
with kids close to their own age, topics
such as bullying, responsible social media
use and peer pressure, says Molinari.
Were trying to model this program to be
both fun and informative. Girls learn best
when they are immersed in the experience,
take ownership of it and are enjoying
themselves. The camp will give them an
opportunity to make new friends and participate in exciting, engaging activities.
Everything is designed to tap into that
wellspring of power and leadership at their
core.
The two former teammates are combining their diverse skill sets with their common goal.
Molinari, a six time Emmy Award winning television producer, has mentored
dozen of high school and college aged
young women, helping them find their passion, strengthen their voice and build confidence both in an out of the entertainment
