Evangelista, Madonna University, Filipino-American Community Council of Michigan, National Federation of Filipino American Associations co-sponsored Responding to Human Trafficking in our own community at Madonna University at 04 December 2019.

The program seeks to address problems in their own localities said Philippine Consul General to Chicago Gina Jamoralin in her letter commending the sponsors for organizing this train-the-trainers workshop.

Madonna University Nursing student Jessica Magill who visited the Philippines on study abroad, highlighted a project with the Cameleon Association, a 20-year old organization committed to supporting girl victims of sexual abuse in the Philippines.  Madonna University students are actively raising funds through the selling of notecards with artwork on girl power to support the Cameleon girls.
