Overview
Free A Child works in the remote poor villages in Nepal to prevent sex trafficking of girls to India. On this trip, you will first visit the brothels of Bombay where the Nepalese girls are held captive. Then you will visit some of the villages in Nepal where the project is working and see how the girls are empowered to support themselves. The field visits in Hetauda will include a street drama, visiting the small shops owned by the girls, joining group workshops and meetings, and a hands-on visit to the paper factory to make the paper.
