Student Natasha Virani helps organize benefit concert to fight human trafficking

A trio of students at West Vancouver’s Mulgrave School are putting up the Not For Sale sign when it comes to human trafficking in their own backyard.

Grade 11 students Natasha Virani, Melissa Godin and Hannah Radford — along with the rest of Mulgrave’s Student Action Council — will be hosting a benefit concert March 7 to raise money and awareness for Not For Sale, a California-based non-profit organization.

The organization works to identify victims of human trafficking, collaborates with local law enforcement and provides survivors with aid. It will be represented at the concert by founder David Batstone’s nephew, Ethan.

Virani said she and her friends are a part of a 30-40 member Student Action Council, and spearheaded the idea of bringing in the organization as part of their school’s Spirit Week.
