Turning Lives Around

We are travelers; and that means we meet a lot of interesting people along the way. Today's blog is about people who are making a difference in the lives of young women through their help.

After witnessing the horrors of sex-trafficking in Ukraine and Kenya, Yves and Jody Masquéfa returned home to Orange County, California, to find sex-trafficking was happening to Americans in their own backyard, and so they started Kherut.

Yves and Jody have over 40 years experience in the restaurant and catering industry with the renowned "Yves Bistro" in Anaheim California, which was one of our "special occasion" restaurants when we lived there. We got to know Yves and Jody personally, and their "mission" after we began our travels.
