Wednesday,12th.
Last night, Raju had a young 13 year old girls in tears, pleading for help for her family. He joined us at the evening meal upset from the experience. This morning, there was a bunda (strike) so no one was allowed to travel. Raju sent us off with a man to photograph a family near here and the surrounding village. We trekked down a long gravel steep path and came to our destination. There was a mother, grandmother, and four beautiful daughters. The oldest daughter asked for help for the family. When we came back to the hotel, our photographer, Katie has fallen in love with this beautiful girl and asked Raju if she could sponsor her. She also contacted her mother,who would sponsor another one, and Trish had friends who would sponsor the other two. Raju was very excited. The mother is very willing for this as she wants her daughters to have a better future. The oldest one, of course, is the 13 year old who had pleaded with Raju the night before. She will be flying back to Kathmandu with us tomorrow and the other three will be coming on the bus with other girls who are waiting for sponsors. A whole family rescued. It was wonderful after all the sad days we have had in the past few days
