HAGAR FEATURED ON NBC DATELINE
On July 25, 2008, Hagar's Aftercare Program was featured on NBC Dateline. The hour-long documentary was designed as a follow-up to a 2004 program, when NBC Dateline went on an undercover raid of Phnom Penh brothels. Several girls, rescued at very young ages, have been in Hagar's care ever since. Watch "New Hope for Rescued Girls."
