      Pros

      I am honoured to work in the communications department for Destiny Rescue Australia. As far as I know, each individual within the organisation has a fierce determination to see children freed from the sex trade and supported. Qualifications, registrations, policies, police checks and vetting processes; provide reassuring credentials and accountability processes within the organisation. Over the years, Destiny Rescue has also accessed professional consultants and developed trusted partnerships with law enforcement and other registered non-profits. It is important to recognise, there is more trauma-informed research data available that has enlightened the maturation of Destiny Rescue's holistic approach toward the continued care and support of survivors and their communities. A strong emphasis is placed on the integrity of recording rescues and our reporting systems. We desire to keep our supporters closely connected to the frontlines of the rescue work they enable.

      Cons

      My husband and I first began volunteering with Destiny Rescue in 2011, in Northern Thailand, when there was just a handful of people passionate about rescuing children from the sex trade. Everyone was doing their best — sacrificing wages, comfort and the familiarity of their passport countries — to put their hearts and lives on the line for these precious children. Apart from the orphanage model, there wasn't a precedent formula to follow, so we made mistakes. Each time, we scraped ourselves back up again to learn more effective ways to operate and serve this vulnerable demographic. Since then, Destiny Rescue has evolved exponentially.

      Thank you so much for such amazing feedback. We know that with over 8 years working in the organisation you have seen the significant transformation that we have gone through, and the passion that your co-workers have to end the sale of children. You also stand at the front line to see the improvement of systems and processes, collaboration with local law enforcement and the ongoing growth of rescue and freedom. Thank you for being part of the evolution of this organisation - one that was really driven by passion and determination in the early days, to being one that still has that passion and determination today, but a lot more stronger systems, processes and development model today. Kind Regards Chris Gribble (International HR Manager)

      Pros

      The international staff that is employed by this organization is fabulous. They give 100% to the organization and the children they are helping.

      Cons

      This organization has great intentions for the rescue and restoration of exploited children. But my hang ups are, why have Western volunteers go to the project nations and be the leaders of the projects? Western volunteers don’t know the culture, the language, the workings of the government, the family dynamics, etc… Having locals lead the projects under the guidance, direction, and teaching of Western volunteers would not only empower locals, but run more efficient project nations. Their is a huge disconnect is when individuals volunteer their time to serve overseas (leaving their jobs, homes, families, friends and much more) and raise their own financial support and are not supported, nor heard, by the paid staff (who sit comfortably in their home countries with their families, friends and modern day amenities). What the volunteers “on the ground” are experiencing and dealing with, is a far cry from what the paid staff in the funding nations will ever understand. To live day in and day out “fighting the good fight”, only to be given directions from staff who have never lived in a country you are serving or dealt with the culture on a daily/monthly basis is very challenging. The international staff just doesn’t understand what volunteers go through, yet wants to call the shots from afar. This creates challenges for volunteers, staff, the children and for families. This organization is very divided. Upper management is very bullheaded and are power houses. It’s very tense for volunteers and for project staff to understand this mentality. It’s not the culture that the are used to and it creates a lot of unsettling situations.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We have an incredible group of passionate people, our supporters and the direct team, who continue to blow us away with their commitment to the cause. Since you left the organisation, you will be encouraged to hear that we have employed many more ‘national’ staff in each country we work in. In fact, in Nepal, all of our rescue agents are Nepalese women, many of whom were trafficked themself in the past and are now advocating for the freedom of others. Almost all our new projects are run by ‘national leaders’ from that country and not by ‘foreign people coming in to run the programs. Location during the COVID pandemic became a moving target that required many of our staff and volunteers to move back to their home countries or to work remotely. This was beyond our control and was the same for many organisations that were no longer able to be “on the ground” to continue their work. We learned during this time to help in new ways that stretched many traditional notions of how we can be effective. We appreciate your feedback and advice, but the comments don’t reflect how we currently work. We also don’t have “Intern” roles in our organisation, making it difficult for us to evaluate the accuracy of your comments. The review also mentions volunteering, which confuses the review because the identified role is “Intern”. I would invite you to reach out personally to us at Destiny Rescue. We have a clear complaints process on our website and are open to learning how we can better support our people. Kind Regards Chris Gribble (International HR Director)
