Spokane stylist heading to Cambodia to teach endangered youths a way out of servitude
Fri., Nov. 10, 2017
A Spokane hair stylist is heading to Cambodia in hopes that teaching her trade to youths will give them an avenue out of the sex-slave industry.

Kyla Hotchkiss, who turns 36 next week, is scheduled to leave Nov. 27 for Phnom Phen, the capital of Cambodia, which traditionally has had a high rate of human trafficking. Most of the victims are children from poor families who are sold into the sex trade.

“My friends think I’m a little crazy,” Hotchkiss said. “But I can give myself to others. I’m excited to do something and hang out with people who actually have needs instead of wants.”

Hotchkiss has established a GoFundMe site to raise money for the trip. After setting a goal of $6,000, she had received $3,720 as of this week.

The trip is being coordinated through the Seattle-based nonprofit Justice and Soul, which sends volunteers to places like Phnom Phen to establish schools where locals can learn a trade, earn money while they are at the school and eventually find a working solution out of indentured servitude.

“Many of the students are rescued from sex trafficking,” Hotchkiss said. “It’s not underground like it is over here. Some are sold into it through no choice of their own. When they are rescued from it, they are going back to it because it’s the only way they know to make money...

“My friends think I’m a little crazy,”

This.

Do everyone a big favour and stay there.

Try Africa, it's an amazing country, and they all wear grass skirts.

Her noble plan could backfire.

1) She teaches them cosmetology

2) They give each other makeovers

3) Their new looks and self confidence makes them even more attractive to a higher income strata of whoremongers, more firmly entrenching their work in the sex industry.

What a great feel good story.

She gets to feel good about herself.

She reminds me of that nutter who was selling the Islamophobic coffee mugs...what was her name?

I think it's a viable trade to teach, but she's just repeating the same old shit about Cambodia and knows fuck all about it.


It's unfortunate that she looks like a meth ho with all those shitty tattoos. That's going to scare the kids.

...she had received $3,720 as of this week.

good for her, found some suckers to pay for her trip .

there's plenty of schools that teach girls how to cut hair, do makeup and fingernails

When did hair stylists become 'artists'?
