first off i want to say that man putting up photos is one hell of a mission. i managed to put up like 3-4.
Anyway today was a really insightful day. It actually made me realise so badd how lucky we are and the situations we come from. We visted a Nepali organisation called Maiti Nepal. They basically deal with the trafficing of girls from the age of 7 to 30 that are sent to india and the middle east. They help them change there lifes and get back on track by learning a skill, a skill been learning to make clothes and bags to sell. Some of the women find it difficult to come out of the sex industry. This is because of the shame it brings to the family as the families reject them and treat them life dirt...The word Maiti in Nepali language means "mothers home" Maiti is the home where a girl-child is born, nutured and raised till she leaves after marriage.
They live in this beautiful building which is pretty near to kathamandu the capital. The facilities are great, this is all reflected on the womens faces... i bought a hand made ipod case :P was amazing. but it really does make you think that those women could of been my sisters or the girls volunteering. simply by been born in a really deprived family.. the amount theyve suffered mentally physically.. its immense..

From the age of 7?? what the?! that's really sad you know, they have no place in society because of deprivation. On the bright side, it's good to know there's an organisation out there keeping an eye on their welfare.
