Chicago Escorts: Chicago CEO Makes Corporate Giving Personal with Trip to Africa

CHICAGO – (Business Wire) Last spring, when Total Attorneys CEO Ed Scanlan met with Purse of Hope founder Kristen Hendricks to discuss partnering to create Total Impact House, a home for teenage sex-trade victims in Africa, the two agreed that there had to be more involved than writing a check. Total Attorneys’ leadership and employees embraced that concept, and began creating a unique, relational program that keeps Chicago volunteers personally involved with the residents of the house in Gulu. Recently, Scanlan took that personal involvement to a new level: he and his wife Ashley have just returned from a visit to Total Impact House and Purse of Hope’s drop-in center in Bwaise.
The center in Bwaise provides vocational training and other services in an area plagued by prostitution; there are estimated to be more than 100 brothels in a 3-square-mile area, each “staffed” by about thirty girls. But despite the bleak circumstances they’re seeking to escape, Ed says the girls were positive and full of gratitude. They danced and celebrated the visit and shared a traditional African meal with the Scanlans.
