Portfolio Management
Programs
Projects
The difference between projects and programs has been ignored or confused by many people for too long. A project is chartered to create a specified “deliverable” as efficiently as possible (Project Management Institute [PMI], 2008a). Programs focus on the coordination of a number of related projects and other activities, over time, to deliver benefits to the organization (PMI, 2008b). While it is absolutely possible and often desirable to contract a project to an independent third party (e.g., the developer of a shopping complex can easily contract the building of the center to a construction company), it is virtually impossible to effectively contract out the program management role. The program manager must be an integral part of the organization’s strategic business.

Freedom Life brings awareness and education about Human Trafficking to provide for people to help end trafficking in NC, end in the US, end globally.
Freedom:
“The Scripture teaches that the only truly free people in the world are those who have made Christ their Savior, Master and Lord. Jesus Christ said, ‘Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’” —Billy Graham.
A call for missions, the church, people everywhere, to free the oppressed, defend the fatherless, orphans, widows, and destitute.
Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery [human trafficking].”
Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the idea of Freedom is expressed. God desires that His people be free. Seven times in the book of Exodus, God’s direct message to Pharaoh through Moses was, “Let My people go.”
Abolition
Abolition of human trafficking involves combating modern-day slavery through efforts like advocacy, survivor support, demand reduction, and international task forces, focusing on preventing exploitation, rescuing victims, and prosecuting perpetrators, recognizing it as a massive global crime exploiting vulnerable individuals for sex or labor, now organ harvesting.
Inspired by abolitionists, President Abraham Lincoln, slaves Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman, and Christian William Wilberforce. Many, like Douglass and Tubman, escaped slavery themselves and dedicated their lives to freeing others and fighting for equality. Wilberforce fought to end slavery through legislation in Britain in the 1800s.
