It was a windy, rainy day in Salamanca, Spain, but 180 runners still showed up for the Second Annual Salamanca Love Race sponsored by the Globalscope En Vivo campus ministry on Feb. 13.

“We had more than double the attendance of last year,” said campus minister Dan Dillard. “They ran a 5K race from the Roman Bridge, through the historic center of Salamanca, past the Cathedral and back again.”

The race marked the kick-off of a semester-long campaign of awareness called “REACT,” that will include screening and discussing movies and documentaries that address the problem of modern-day slavery and human trafficking.

“We’re also holding a conference on March 9 with guest speakers and presentations on the subject of trafficking,” added Dan. “We’re excited to see our students become so passionate about this important cause and working to make a difference in the world.”
