ACWP - KNOWLEDGE INNOVATIONS ACADEMY
(Vocational School)
ACWP took a huge leap in 2016 to expand our mission and vision. We are starting a non-profit post-secondary vocational school called Knowledge Innovations Academy! www.kiacademyusa.org .
The school will offer basic level courses in Accounting, Computer Applications, Culinary, Electronics Engineering Technician, and English. We believe that education has always been the root of change. Helping students develop marketable skills in addition to personnel development so students are able to contribute to society is our number one priority. We aim to provide career and education opportunities to children and disadvantaged people at the local and international level.
If you are interested in helping us fulfill ACWP’s next chapter, please feel free to contact us at kiainfo@acwp.org. Your continued support and encouragement help us help one child at a time.
Imagine your 5 yr old daughter, son, nephew/niece, or even just a child next door being sold as slaves for sex with grown men!
We’re talking about the horrific crimes that go on behind closed doors in third world countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. Unfortunately, such crime does exist and these children are victims of a fast growing industry of “child sex trafficking”. What can we do to stop this? How can we help?
