Update-ish on the Russia/Egypt/Trafficking thing

Well, my individual student (see previous posts) didn't show up for today's class either, so I'm guessing she's not coming back. I asked our secretary if she could call the girl and find out, but apparently she was paying on a per-class basis, and the AH doesn't have her contact info. So I guess I'll never know what happened to her.

I checked out the website of the hotel she said she was going to work for, at a glance it looked extremely bogus.

There were only pictures of grounds (which could have easily been swiped from elsewhere) no address, no rate information (that I could find) only a fax number and maybe (?) a physical number?

Normally hotels have a bevy of info about amenities, restaurants, menus, rates and reservations, specials, qualities the hotel possesses (sp)but this site only had pics that i could see...smelled bad.

I read up alot on the stuff you were posting about human slavery from links you posted...it was interesting and made me think alot about how people often do this voluntarily--unwittingly of course. The stuff that kills me are the kids, particularly the ones sold into the sex industry by snatchers or even family or through deception.

thanks for posting the info.

I am sorry your student disappeared.

For her sake I hope we're just making a mountain out of a molehill. It's just hard not to assume the worst, given the distressing situation of trafficking's prominence in Russia and Ukraine these days...
